Alabama

Alabama retains a rural and distinctly southern character and embraces some of the classic traits of the Deep South, including a love of country music, stock-car racing and history. The state's past is on display in everything from Native American burial mounds to antebellum mansions as well as museums and monuments that commemorate the struggles of the civil-rights movement.

On the other hand, Alabama has several attractions that set it apart from some of its neighbors. Huntsville has the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and the U.S. Space Camp, both of which spring from the city's key role in NASA space explorations. And the renowned Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a string of courses spanning the state, has made Alabama a must-play destination for golfers who love challenging holes and beautiful scenery.
