It’s time to blast off and head to Huntsville!  You’ll be amazed at just how much this Rocket City has grown over the past several years.  In fact, it’s the fastest-growing city in the state of Alabama.  Our tour will focus on the history of the city and the new accomplishments of the Rocket Center program there.  I was totally impressed with the city when I visited and toured the area last summer!  It promises to offer you the very best that they have!  Highlights include:

• US Space and Rocket Center Visit including their IMAX theatre; they have really stepped up their game here and offer a really unique experience here! It’s amazing!  We’ll take in an included lunch there too.
• Guided driving tour of historic downtown thru the Twickenham Historic District with its charming collection of Victorian homes. The city boasts the largest collection of these homes in the southeast!  Beautiful!
• Guided tour of one lovely historic home.
• Visit to Burritt on the Mountain with its lovely views of the city from the pretty foothill of the area above it.
• Tour of the Burritt “Green” house mansion and the historic farm as well. Burritt was really ahead of his time with his sustainable farm.
• Visit to the lovely and very walkable Huntsville Botanical Gardens with its 112-acre property.
• Visit to Harrison Brothers Hardware, started in 1879 and offering great shopping in a pretty setting.
• Photo stop at Huntsville Train Depot and Veterans Park.
• Dinner at a local entertainment venue which will be great fun!
• Two included lunches while on tour as well as evening hotel reception with drinks and included food options.
• Plus a few more surprises that you are sure to enjoy!
