I'm not sure I learned anything about cows, but I learned a fair amount about the ACA. I learned that every breed of cow has their own association. Angus cows have the American Angus Association, but the AAA doesn't like red cows, so red Angus cows are protected (promoted? recognized?) by the Red Angus Association. If that sounds good, cool. It's easy & free. It just isn't really a museum about cows.

Black Belt Treasures believes it is important to share these arts and crafts with the public as a way to promote interest and also to retain the skills and knowledge related to the arts for future generations.

This is small museum, but offers a level of depth suited to anyone…read more We came here on a Saturday and were the only visitors in there for the full hour we spent. We were immediately greeted by a high-school age girl who gave us a nice full private tour of the Prattaugan museum. The museum is centered around, and has an entire room dedicated to, Daniel Pratt, founder of Prattville, and has many artifacts and photos of him, his family, and his many business ventures. It should be said that Daniel Pratt was a slave owner the museum has a chair said to be made by one of his slaves. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about that. Another room focuses on Prattville's military history, to include the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The town received a commendation from FDR following WWII, and that is on display. The same room features a piano donated by the family of Prattville's first black business owner, a female who ran a beauty shop, it's a nice touch. The next room looks at the history of business and medicine in Prattville, with a nice story about a (presumably) white dentist who offered free dental care to black people during segregation. There are further rooms with displays of Prattville's athletic history, to include locals who are currently playing professional sports. If you're from the area, are a descendant of people from the area, or are just interested in deeper local history, they have an archive room at the back free for anyone to search. Their newspaper archive dates back to the 1920s with other archives dating further back. Anyone can search whatever they like, and the historians are more than happy to assist. All-in-all, it's a pretty decent local museum, it's free, and worth a stop-in.

Being close to reaching Florida, my friend was interested in the Hank Williams Boyhood Home Museum…read more I never knew this country music artist was from Georgiana Alabama. You know what they say you learn something new everyday. This was most definitely a great stopping place. Admission was reasonable. My friend and I got to hear of Hank Williams life story from the woman who was working the front, got to learn things we both never knew about the musician. I won't say too much on here otherwise what would be the point of going to this house? This house is definitely historic, I do like the old fashioned kitchen and the bedroom. That would happen to be my favorite part of the house. The exhibits were quite interesting as well. Definitely worth checking out whether you're a country music fan or not.

It has had a long history of service to the City of Selma. Throughout the years it has functioned as a school, a Confederate Hospital after the Battle of Selma, a Freedman's Bureau Hospital (making it Selma's first African American Hospital), the Dallas County Courthouse, a Military School, the Vaughan Memorial Hospital, and finally a museum depicting Selma's history from it's founding until about 1960.

We we touring Selma on a Saturday morning and after walking the Pettus Bridge, we looked over at…read morethe museum and saw that they were open. It is located at the bottom of the bridge. Normally, it is only opened by reservation. Luckily for us, some group had it reserved for that morning and the museum historian, Sam Walker, graciously let us piggy back on the group. Mr. Walker was amazing and showed a lot pride in the museum. He was very friendly and helpful and pointed out a few key highlights of the museum to us before we really got into it. The museum has a decent sized parking lot and a small gift shop that was not open while I was there. The museum is a lot larger than it looks. It just kept going and going. It provides not only a background on voting rights history, it has a display of photos from Bloody Sunday, a President Obama Gallery, a jail cell exhibit, a church exhibit, a lot of information about the Foot Soldiers, a Ku Klux Klan display, White only and Black drinking fountains, early Black elected officials, MLK and Ghandi comparison, and bogus voting test. Mr Walker came out from the front desk and told us the story of the Bloody Sunday pictures on the wall. They were never seen before then and were donated by a police photographer after he heard of the opening of the museum. The photographer was living in Montgomery at the time and hooked them up with who to request the pictures from. He then showed us a photo and pointed out the window and told us that certain picture occurred outside of the window "right there". That is when it dawned on me that the horrible events of that fateful day occurred right out front of the museum. Outside you will find a bus, which I think they use to help people register and vote. There are also some nice murals on garage doors out there that I really liked and tie into the city, and voting rights. This museum does not have the huge funding that others get. They still do a wonderful job presenting the information. The museum is well organized and has lots of displays and artifacts. It took me about 45 minutes to go through the museum. I know it is difficult to get into the museum. I have been to Selma a few times and was unable to make it happen prior to this trip. And I just lucked out on this go around. It is however, worth the effort and I highly recommend checking this museum out.
