Gulf State Park

Gulf State Park is a public recreation area on the Gulf of Mexico in the city of Gulf Shores in southern Baldwin County, Alabama. The state park's 6,150 acres (2,490 ha) mostly encompass the land behind the Gulf Shores beach community, between Highway 59 and SH 161, with the west end extending further south to a wide beach area. In addition to beaches, the park includes marshland, boggy tea-colored streams, pine forests, and three spring-fed, fresh-water lakes: Lake Shelby (750 acres or 300 hectares), Middle Lake, and Little Lake. The park is managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, with park enforcement rangers providing around-the-clock security and enforcing anti-littering regulations. History The park's facilities, including cabins and a casino, were built in the 1930s by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps working under the auspices of the Federal government. The park opened in 1939 after ownership of the property was transferred to the state. After weathering multiple hurricanes, the park was devastated by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Major projects undertaken in the wake of the storm saw the construction of a 1,540-foot (470 m) Gulf of Mexico fishing pier that provides 2,448 feet of fishing space, a 5,000-square-foot swimming pool and splash pad, an interactive nature center, a beach pavilion, and renovation of the campground. The park's concessionaire-operated zip-line course was closed in 2016. The park's 18-hole golf course was closed permanently in 2018. The fishing pier suffered major damage from Hurricane Sally in 2020; the pier was reopened in August 2024. Lodge In 2014, the state announced plans to spend $85 million to further renovate the park. The plans included a $56 million lodge and meeting space to replace the lodge destroyed by Hurricane Ivan. The plans were criticized on grounds that money for the project would come from Deepwater Horizon recovery funds which, critics say, should be used for continued cleanup and improvement of the coastal areas. In October 2014, a lawsuit was filed by the Gulf Restoration Network to block use of the funds for the construction of the lodge. State officials said critics misunderstand the plans. The new facility, called The Lodge at Gulf State Park, opened in 2018. Awards In 2020, Gulf State Park was one of eleven Alabama state parks awarded Tripadvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Award, which recognizes businesses and attractions that earn consistently high user reviews. The park has been inducted into the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame for winning its Certificate of Excellence five years in a row. Activities and amenities The park includes 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of white sand beaches, a modern campground, and nature trails, both fresh and saltwater fishing and swimming, a lodge and cottages plus campsites for both RVs and tents.

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is a 2,040-acre, U.S. national military park managed by the National Park Service that is the site of the penultimate battle of the Creek War on March 27, 1814. The military park is located in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Although New Site is the closest municipality, the park uses a mailing address based in Daviston. General Andrew Jackson's Tennessee militia, aided by the 39th U.S. Infantry Regiment and Cherokee and Lower Creek allies, won a decisive victory against the Upper Creek Red Stick Nation during the Battle of Horseshoe Bend at this site on the Tallapoosa River. Jackson's decisive victory at Horseshoe Bend broke the power of the Creek Nation. Over 800 Upper Creeks died defending their homeland. This was the largest loss of life for Native Americans in a single battle in the history of United States. On August 9, 1814, the Creeks signed the Treaty of Fort Jackson, which ceded 23 million acres (93,000 km2) of land in Alabama and Georgia to the United States government.

Sumpter Smith Air National Guard Base

Sumpter Smith Joint National Guard Base (IATA: BHM, ICAO: KBHM, FAA LID: BHM) is a United States Air Force (USAF) installation located at a Birmingham, Alabama in the United States. It hosts the 117th Air Refueling Wing, part of the Air National Guard, which operates the KC-135R Stratotanker. The base was previously known as Alabama Air National Guard Base. History The base is named after United States Army Air Forces Colonel Walter Sumpter Smith who was born on 12 February 1896 in Belle Ellen, Alabama and became an electrical engineer and a pilot. In 1921, Smith was appointed to the 106th Observation Squadron of the Alabama National Guard and commissioned as a first lieutenant at Roberts Field in Birmingham, Alabama. He reached the rank of lieutenant colonel on 12 August 1932 and colonel in 1942. In 1934, the facilities at Roberts Field became less adequate and the local government decided to build a new facility which became Birmingham Municipal Airport. In 1938, after four years of construction, the 106th Observation Squadron moved to the new base. As a testimony to Smith’s role in the development and construction, the base was eventually named Sumpter Smith Joint National Guard Base. It remained that way until sometime during the early 1990s when the name evolved to the Alabama Air National Guard Base, Birmingham, Alabama. It’s not really clear why the name changed and no official documents have been found. A push was made to restore the name of the base to Sumpter Smith Air National Guard Base and was made official during the summer of 2017.

Ivy Green

Ivy Green is a historic house museum at 300 West North Commons in Tuscumbia, Alabama, United States. Built in 1820, it was the birthplace and childhood home of Helen Keller (1880–1968), who became well known after overcoming deaf-blind conditions to communicate; she became an author and public speaker. Designated as a National Historic Landmark, it is now operated as a museum honoring and interpreting Keller's life. Description and history Ivy Green is located in a residential area north of downtown Tuscumbia, on the north side of West North Commons at Keller Lane. The property's principal features are the main house, the birthplace cottage, and the well. The main house is a 1+1⁄2-story frame structure with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has a five-bay facade, with sash windows around a roughly centered entrance. The entrance is sheltered by a gabled portico, and is framed by sidelight and transom windows. Nearby stands the birthplace cottage, a modest structure originally built as a plantation office. It was refurbished as a bridal suite for Arthur Henley Keller's second wife, who bore him Helen Keller in 1880. In between the two buildings stand the well and pump that played a key role in Helen Keller's development. The main house at Ivy Green was built in 1820 by David Keller, Helen Keller's grandfather. The well pump is where Helen Keller first achieved a communicated breakthrough with her teacher and companion, Anne Sullivan. In 1954 the property was adapted as a museum dedicated to Helen Keller. A fire in 1972 caused minor damage and resulted in the donation of additional materials by the Keller family. The Miracle Worker Every summer, for over 30 years, the Helen Keller Foundation has presented outdoor performances here of William Gibson's The Miracle Worker, a play about Keller and Sullivan. The play is usually performed from early June through mid-July. It is especially popular during the Helen Keller Festival held in Tuscumbia every June.

Fue declarado Hito histórico nacional de los Estados Unidos el 31 de marzo de 1992,​ es un museo abierto al público. Descripción e historia Ivy Green está ubicado en una zona residencial al norte del centro de Tuscumbia, en el lado norte de West North Commons. La propiedad está conformada por la casa principal, una cabaña que fue el lugar de nacimiento de Helen y un pozo. La casa principal de Ivy Green fue construida en 1820 por David Keller, abuelo de Helen Keller.​ Es una estructura sencilla, de madera, de un piso y medio, con un techo a dos aguas. Consta de cuatro habitaciones grandes, cada una con chimenea, ubicadas dos a cada lado de un amplio vestíbulo. En el piso de arriba hay tres habitaciones. La entrada está protegida por un pórtico a dos aguas y está enmarcada por ventanas laterales y travesaños. Está pintada de blanco como las típicas casas del Sur. Cerca de la casa principal se encuentra la cabaña, es una estructura modesta que fue originalmente construida para servir como oficina a la plantación. Cuando Arthur Henley Keller se casó con su segunda esposa, Kate Adams, la madre de Helen, la construcción fue totalmente renovada para que fungiera como suite nupcial. En esa cabaña nació Helen Keller en 1880. Entre los dos edificios se encuentran el pozo y la bomba de agua, que jugaron un papel clave en el desarrollo de Helen Keller con su maestra y compañera, Anne Sullivan. El Museo alberga el mobiliario original de la casa y diferentes objetos de uso cotidiano, además de algunos de los vestidos de Helen, vallija, un juego de té de plata —es el objeto más antiguo de la casa, con alrededor de 200 años— y la bomba de agua.​ Habiendo sobrevivido intacta a los estragos de la Guerra Civil, Ivy Green se mantiene hasta el más mínimo detalle en su estado original. La propiedad se convirtió en un museo dedicado a Helen Keller en 1954. En 1972 un incendio causó daños menores que fueron reparados con una donación de materiales por parte de la familia Keller.

James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant

James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant, also known as Barry Steam Plant or Plant Barry, is a coal- and natural gas-fired electrical generation facility in Bucks, Mobile County, Alabama, United States. It lies on the west bank of the Mobile River, using it both for coal delivery as well as for cooling water. The plant was named for James M. Barry, President of Alabama Power Company from 1949 to 1952. As of 2018, the plant has 9 units, seven of which are powered by gas and two which are powered by coal. Design and specification The Barry Plant has two coal-fired units but originally had five coal-fired units, which came online in 1954 to 1971, with respective generating capacities of 138 MW, 137 MW, 249 MW, 362 MW, and 750 MW (year-around). Five natural gas-fired units, including three combined cycle combustion turbines (173 MWe each of winter capacity) and two combined cycle steam turbines (193 MWe each of winter capacity), were installed in 2000. Environmental impact Air A 2007 survey by the Washington, D.C.–based Environmental Integrity Project found that the Barry Plant ranked 25th of the top 30 mercury emitting power plants in the United States, releasing 711 pounds (323 kg) of mercury into the atmosphere annually. The plant ranked 28th for the amount of nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere, with 24,000 tons released. Additionally, the survey found that the plant released a yearly total of 61,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and 11 million tons of carbon dioxide. A company spokesman for Alabama Power, Michael Sznajderman, noted that scrubbers are being installed at all of the company's coal-fired plants, which will reduce emission levels in coming years. The James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant has a coal ash pond in a "hairpin crook of the Mobile River", which leaches heavy metals into the groundwater and into the river. For this reason, the Mobile River was listed as the third most endangered river in America. Waste heat The plant discharges all of its waste heat (about twice its electrical output) into the Mobile River.
