We love our time at the WMA. My daughter says she wants to be an artist when she grows up. When I…read morefirst mentioned the Museum to her 3 years ago, her preference was the park. Now when we have relatives visit, she is the first to advertise the WMA. Great staff with a future-driven approach makes us big supporters. We especially like the First Saturday Family Day program. There's like 3-4 do yourself activities and then there is an instructor, in a very laid back fashion, that runs a program like 10-2.

The Wiregrass Museum of Art is a small museum located in downtown Dothan and is presumably named…read moreafter the Wiregrass Region in which Dothan sits. The museum is free and open Wednesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 3pm. They are closed on Sunday and open on Monday and Tuesday by appointment only. Free parking is located on-site. We visited this museum on Saturday afternoon, October 8, 2016. There wasn't much to see because they were between exhibits, though I'm not sure there is a whole lot to see on a regular day. The museum consists only of a couple floors with both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Most of the art we saw consisted of paintings. Art is not my forte, though I did take art history in college. I would consider most of the paintings we saw modern art. Downstairs, they were setting up new paintings that had just been dropped off by the artist earlier in the morning. They looked like paintings of countrysides and houses. Further in was an exhibition called "Assimilation: From Clay to Cotton. The Pottery of Guadalupe Lanning Robinson." The main showroom floor was located on this level, but it was roped off in preparation of a new exhibition. I guess we came at a bad time. There was a third level which we also explored. The stairwell had an interesting wire (?) art installation of flying black crows that looked like they had been penciled into the air. There were also a couple large works on the walls. The third level consisted of offices and what looked like a community art room (e.g. for art instruction/classes). Perhaps they do a lot of community engagement here. The lady at the front desk was nice. She explained what exhibits were currently available. There was a security guard who was friendly too. We were the only folks inside the building during our visit save for one couple who exited shortly after we entered. Even though the museum is free, they do have a donation cash box if you want to make a donation. According to a sign just inside the entrance, the building was the Dothan Municipal Light and Water Plant from 1913 to 1949. The museum moved into the building in the early 1990s. Compared to other museums I've been to, there just isn't a lot here. Therefore, I give the Wiregrass Museum of Art two Yelp stars: "Meh, I've experienced better." It's not a bad museum by any means and appropriate for a city the size of Dothan.

It's an incredible museum focusing on helicopters and the history of helicopters in army aviation. It's also where they hold the graduation ceremonies for army warrant officers which is why I was there. A friend had completed the five week course and is now off to flight school. The museum is especially clean and well organized. There is plenty of safe parking and it's all well lit. The displays are incredible and well laid out. I learned a great deal about helicopters and their history in the few hours I spent there. I highly recommend stopping in if you love army aviation.

While I was there I strolled slowly around the whole trail making sure to stop at my favorite style, the Asian garden. It was really calming. I liked the turtles and the small amount of koi. Other areas I thought were great was the rose garden and the paved trail. The trail is mostly shaded, so it wasnt that bad even though the temperature was in the low 90s on my visit. I will say that starting July 1st they are going to start charging an admission price. It seems that might be the right idea. Some of the areas ,such as the butterfly garden looked a little neglected. Maybe the admission fee will help that? In either case I will be coming back. If you are even remotely interested in plants or the outdoors, I highly recommend stopping by.
