In-Depth Information
The land was resurrected by the state in 1964 when the Alabama legislature cre-
ated Confederate Memorial Park, which, as they said, would be a “shrine to the
honor of Alabama's Citizens of the Confederacy.” Today the park is a fascinating
look back in time at an era almost lost to history. The park boasts a beautiful mu-
seum that tells the story of the facility and its residents, and the trail here takes
you not only to some interesting natural settings, but back to the time when the
home was in full operation. There is no fee to enter the park or hike the trails, but
there is a small admission fee to tour the museum.
The trail leads to the solitude of Cemetery #2 where many of the veterans who lived here were buried.
