In the middle of the state you’ll find Birmingham, an urban center with great attractions and museums, and Tuscaloosa, the quintessential college town and home to the University of Alabama. For beach lovers, sandy destinations like Dauphin Island near Mobile, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer beautiful beaches, superb golf, fantastic seafood restaurants and heaping helpings of Southern hospitality.
For those who love to chase the white dimpled ball, Alabama offers one of the best golf values anywhere. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a collection of 468 holes at 11 different sites across the state, features top-notch, championship style courses at affordable rates.

I picked up a walking tour map at the Huntsville Visitors Center and headed off! The sheer amount of antebellum houses is remarkable in and of itself. The Weeden House is the only one available for tours, as the others are privately owned, but is only open M-F for tours. And, after you finish looking at the houses you can walk to the Harrison Brother's store and museum, the Constitution Village (closed during the winter), and get some good food downtown.

The heart of downtown Auburn and its university has been a special gathering place for college students, visitors and politicians over the years.
This is in the heart of Auburn and a landmark location if you visit the campus. No better place than Toomers after an AU win to watch the TP'ing of the iconic oaks. Great lemonade and a fair selection of Auburn merchandise.

We drove up and down all of the streets in the area to view the beautiful old historic homes. The properties are well-maintained and quite interesting.
