HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA
Barbara Lauster, Director Weeden Museum


Bicentennial time is here; time to celebrate Huntsville's birth
I have found this wonderful town, to be the best one here on earth.

North Alabama is full of places of things to see and do
Visit our Tourism Center for a list of things for you.

Harrison Brother's hardware can be a lot of fun
Purchase an old-time gift or see how the business was run.

Go around the corner; see Constitution Village at its vest
The fine old buildings stand tall; they were here before the rest.

And don't forget EarlyWorks, a great place for fun
Ride the old keel boat or see how cotton seed was done.

Travel down Gates Avenue, the Weeden Museum beckons a call
Enter thru the doors and hear words from "Shadows on the Wall."

The old Train Depot, is a special place to see
View Costumes and hear the stories of times that used to be.

Museum of Art sits on a hill; it stands Oh so tall
The displays and artifacts bring pleasure to us all.

Burritt on the Mountain, a magical place up high
Visit the old cabins, see soap made of lye.

Head out East to Cathedral Caverns and unclaimed baggage please don't miss
Then hurry back to Huntsville, there's still much on your list.

Sci-Quest is for all ages, a hands-on type of place
Then there's the Space and Rocket Center, which will send you out to space.

Botanical Gardens is magical when springtime comes around
It is filled with beautiful color as flowers are all abound.

Visit the town of Madison, Clay House Museum is the place to be
There's music at the gazebo and a Street Fair you must see.

Back to Huntsville, the Historical walks start in May
The Pilgrimage comes alive with the Cemetery stroll the next day.

Panoply and the Jam are things you have to do
So gather up the family to spend special time with you!
