Feels more like a wayward home for old toys than an interactive science museum. However it is a great place to host preschool aged birthday parties. If your kids are interested in nature, stroll through Deibert Park next door and take the time to read the signs along the trails. Your older kids will likely get more from it and you'll save yourself the $10 per person admission fee.

W C Handy is the "father" of Blues, not only for being the first for including the name Blues in the title of a composition, but also for writing 5 book on the the history of Blues music. Without him, much of early blues history would be lost. The museum is attached to the cabin in which he was born (decorated with period pieces not original to the cabin before it was moved.) For music lovers who understand how blues has influenced later musical forms, I think this is a great place to visit. It is a very small museum, but has a lot of memorabilia from Handy's life, and many donated items.

Visiting the Belle Mont Mansion was the highlight of my trip South. Built somewhere around 1828 for…read morea Dr. Alexander Williams Mitchell, the mansion has both 'Jeffersonian' and 'Palladian' design. It is definitely not like some of the plantation houses you see on 'Gone With The Wind' but it is still a handsome home made with hand-made brick, original wood floors and marble fireplaces. It has been under restoration for some time now as it sat empty for 30 years. Vandals had taken much of its original stair risers and marble mantel pieces as well. Over $335,000 has been spent so far to restore it to its former splendor. I came with my mom today as it was their annual 'Old Time' Christmas party, where volunteers and historians dress up in clothing of the 1860's. There were many women in hoop skirts walking around, eager to tell us the history of the place. I have read it was haunted by the family who bought the place from Dr. Mitchell, The Winston's. The husband, Isaac, died here in 1863 and his wife Catherine died here 20 years later. Upon looking at the picture I took of her portrait, I found an orb to the right of the painting. I didn't use a flash and no one was around me at the time. But the strangest experience happened soon after my arrival in the entrance salon. There was a large Christmas tree standing over in the corner, festooned with original, antique Christmas ornaments. One of the volunteers was explaining how a Mrs. Burke made these ornaments by hand. Just as she mentioned her name, an Christmas ball fell from the tree and rolled to within an inch of where I was standing. :Hello Mrs. Burke!" I said. FOr $6.00 per person, we got an in depth tour, wonderful refreshments, a choral group singing carols, musicians and ballroom dancing! I also reacquainted myself with the curator/guide from Helen Keller's home, Elizabeth Hargrove. She remembered our visit this past April! A most rewarding experience..Belle Mont is open for tours Thur.-Sat. 8 am-4pm and Sun. 1-5pm. If you're ever around Tuscumbia, please check this beautiful home out.

It's tiny but packed with tons of information and facts on WC Handy, as well as lots of his belongings. Part of the museum is the Cabin that he was born in! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a pleasant experience. They do have a tiny gift shop inside for your souvenir needs!

We were escorted into a room for a 10-min movie, then we came out expecting someone to tell us some interesting stories...nothing, we were told that everything in there is not original furniture, and we are free to look around ourselves. I have been to places with more to see where tickets cost much less. Probably still worth a visit if you are a fan, but the price is pretty steep for such a quick, non-guided tour.

I only have one complaint and that is that the lady sitting next to me whom I had never met and never spoken to told me to "shut the f*@k up" while I was talking to my friend who was sitting on the opposite side of me and I had came there with. I never got loud with this lady or even cussed her back but I did tell her how rude she was and how I would never speak to a stranger like that. The girls who were walking around with the pull tabs and scratch offs heard what was happening and no one stopped her and there's no way they didn't hear what she was saying. My friend and my biggest mistake was not informing management of the issue but next time we will. It honestly ruined my whole experience but I will be coming back however that lady had better keep her distance next time because I will be reporting her. It's a shame that people act the way she did and see nothing wrong with their rudeness. I'm just glad I'm not one of those people and I don't go praying on others to get my kicks. I just wish the girls walking around would have informed the proper people of what was going on but then again we should have also. This lady was old too I don't understand how someone could just walk around being so angry and hateful. There's no way she even heard me talking to my friend because we weren't loud at all She was just nasty rude and mean and I hope karma serves her a nice hot meal to her lap. Other than that the place was great and the people were great but that lady well...she can go straight to hell for how she treated me.
