Welcome
to Huntsville the high-tech
city which sprawls at the foot
of a mountain in North Alabama
and is equally at home in the
19th century or the 21st. Huntsville's
tourist attractions reflect
the heritage of Alabama's first
English-speaking city, the strife
of the American Civil War, and
the accomplishments of America's
rocket scientists.

Huntsville's
population truly reflects international
cultures. Of the 160,000 city residents,
more than 10 percent are natives of
other countries. More than 100 languages
and dialects are spoken here. In addition
to the German rocket scientists who
arrived in 1950, for example, Huntsville
is home to the first U.S. plant built
by Korea's largest corporation.
Several Japanese-owned
companies operate manufacturing plants
here. Scores of foreign national flags
ring the roof of the headquarters
of an international computer manufacturing
firm headquartered in Huntsville.
Huntsville's visitor attractions offer
a wealth of activities for the native
and international visitor alike. Visitors
who want to be "astronauts for a day"
can sample astronaut training activities
at the sprawling U.S. Space and Rocket
Center. The hands-on showcase of space
technology is the state's largest
tourist attraction. It is home to
the internationally known U.S. Space
Camp which has franchise operations
in Japan, Belgium and Canada. A variety
of city museums downtown and an outstanding
symphony orchestra offer rich cultural
opportunities involving the arts.
The Birthplace of Alabama, Huntsville
is a convenient hub for meeting our
neighbors in the beautiful Alabama
Mountain Lakes region. Take circle
tours that extend to the west to see
the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and
Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen
Keller. Birthplace shrines honor “father
of the blues” W.C. Handy and Olympian
Jesse Owens. Visit Hamilton where
potter Jerry Brown creates “ugly jugs”
at his studio and explore the wonders
of “the Dismals.”

Frolic
in the nation’s first wave pool
at Decatur’s Point Mallard.
Walk down the shaded streets
of historic Mooresville. Hungry?
Have biscuits and gravy for
breakfast. Sample the traditional
vinegary pepper sauce on pork
barbecue for lunch. Try fried
catfish and hush puppies for
dinner. Having pecan pie for
dessert borders on a religious
experience for many Southerners.
Wash it all down with a large
glass of sweet tea. You might
even start saying “We’ll see
y’all later” with a passable
accent...
