Kids can step into the front lines with posters, letters, photos and historic items from the Civil War. The displays are filled with a host of treasures from cannon balls, to guns, bullets and more, all connected with one of the most significant events in US history.

Did you know that 400 confederate forces defeated the Union's 1,400 right in the area that was to become Cullman County? You are learning about the history right in the very place it happened!

Native Heritage is preserved and celebrated with the timeline showcasing artifacts from the early Native American inhabitants in the area, taking you back as far as 12,000 years!
