Up in the mountains above Birmingham are the towns of Gadsden and Anniston. The Mary G Harden Center for Cultural Arts in Gadsden and Museum of Natural History in Anniston are small yet diverse and worth a look see. The cultural arts center offered a special display called Ink and Blood, the history of the Bible in print featuring a Guttenberg printing press. There was also a Festival of Trees and an Imagination Place. Max had a great time playing with the local kids attending birthday parties there.
The Anniston Museum is a real surprise. It has a large and one of the oldest collection in US of stuffed birds in natural settings. This collection was originally shown on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The rocks and minerals display and the reptile displays were worthy of a large museum. Outside were oak leaf strewn paths over the hillside. We strolled around and enjoyed the cool air.
