Steal My Itinerary For North Alabama
We recently had the opportunity to travel to North Alabama on a little family getaway. We were truly blown away by how much there was to do.
Decatur
Decatur, a city brimming with historical treasures and vibrant cultural events, boasts the enchanting Old Decatur and Albany Historic Districts, where time seems to stand still amid beautifully preserved architecture. Don't miss a journey into the past at the Historic Decatur Union Depot Museum, where the stories of the city's railroad heritage come to life.
But Decatur isn't just about the past; it's also a hub of artistic expression. Experience the River Clay Fine Arts Festival, a celebration of creativity that showcases the region's finest artistic talent. And for nature enthusiasts, the Festival of the Cranes offers a mesmerizing spectacle of avian wonder, as thousands of cranes gather along the riverbanks. Visitors to Decatur can also visit nearby cities like Athens and Huntsville.
The Cook Museum of Natural Science
Explore the 62,000-square-foot Cook Museum, a captivating journey into North American Biomes, featuring interactive exhibits explaining the natural world. Dive into educational programs, marvel at live animals, and discover a treasure trove of wildlife and natural wonders.
