Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park

Some fellow campers told us about a few places to go. This was one of them. It tells of Alabama's place in the past with regards to the steel and iron industry. You can see more about it here: http://www.tannehill.org/
It was a neat place, and Bill was in his element for sure!!

You can just imagine how an engineer could go ga-ga in a place like this! Or a history buff.

And on the natural history side...a very cool moth!! And best yet, a living, uncaged specimen!

One of the many gorgeous trees blooming in the area!

A typical cabin type for the area and period. They used these as rentals!

Just another lovely river running through it... And a very peaceful, wholesome scene with families fishing together along its banks. It was very refreshing to know that families still do these kinds of things together in places.

The blast furnaces.
