About Huntsville

This is the site of a historic home on top of Monte Sano mountain. There are beautiful views from the grounds surrounding the house. There is a walking trail in addition to the mansion to explore. There's also a great historic park on site. It is a unique historic site in Huntsville. 1930's Mansion turned museum. The rich of Huntsville built mansions on the top of Monte Sano to escape the summer heat and also malaria and yellow fever. This mansion is preserved on the highest spot of of the mountain. An eclectic art district of sorts, packed into a historic 3 story former textile factory. Well worth checking out for the artisitcally inclined, those favoring arts and crafts, or anyone looking to browse for handmade trinkets or homemade treats. The Saturn IB Launch Vehicle is on display at the AL Visitor Welcome Center, I-65 southbound from Nashville. Due to it's proximity to the NASA Space Center (Space Camp), this display is representative of Alabama's contributions to the U.S. Space program. It is free to view, and a nice break from a road trip. The Huntsville Space and Rocket center is a museum centered around Huntsville's contribution to Space Exploration and Rocketry. In addition to the massive Saturn V Rockets and the Space Shuttle, you will see significant exhibits on the Army's Rocket research at nearby Redstone Arsenal. Downtown Huntsville has a nice green zone, called Big Spring Park. A natural spring has bubbled up here since time immemorial, attracting the Indians and settlers. In 1823, Big Spring was used to create one of the first water works in the US. Nearby, Indian Creek Canal was completed in 1831, to link the town to the Tennessee River. Less well-known than the Space and Rocket Center, the Botanical Gardens are just as worthy of a visit. This is a beautiful spot, a quiet place of contemplation, and a place to enjoy nature.
