I went to the original Cooks museum in the 80s. This multi-million dollar museum is a hidden gem in North Alabama! It’s fun for groups, children of all ages, and solo adults or couples. This is the ONLY museum I’ve been to that has a cave. The cave is the most realistic of any actual cave I’ve ever been too. The taxidermy is beautiful. I know, I’m not really into dead animals, but when they represent a biome of species it’s a different thing. The sand table showing biomes is wonderful. I’ve been here about a dozen times and I still see new things each time. Well worth the visit.

This is a wonderful place to visit. Unfortunately the observation tower is closed due to COVID-19. You can still walk the nature trail and trail to observation tower. The best thing is standing still and watching thousands of Sandhill Cranes act in their natural setting. The sound of the. Is amazing. Binoculars make it even better! Walk the boardwalk also across the road. If you’re lucky you’ll also see hundreds of white Pelicans and snowy egrets.

Historic Decatur is a lovely place for a nice walk on a sunny day. The homes are spectacular and the people are very friendly. They wave and actually talk to you from their porches if they are outside! Download the pocketsights app on your phone, search for Decatur AL and you will find a great walking tour of the Historic Decatur neighborhood that is about a mile and a half long. Lovely place!
