12 Unique Alabama Museums You Need to Visit

Fascinating antiques and delicious food come together to create magic in the 'Bloody Mary Capital of the Eastern Shore' in Olde Towne Daphne, Alabama!

In 1924, Italian immigrant Frank Manci purchased an old wooden produce warehouse in what is known today as downtown Daphne.

That same year, Frank built a gas station and ran the antique-gas station mutation until his son Arthur took over in 1947. In 1987, his son took over and eventually added food to the list of amazing reasons to visit Manci's.

Manci's Antique Club has been featured in Southern Living, Coastal Living and Diners, Drive Ins & Dives after the word about their seafood Po-Boys and burgers leaked out. While you're waiting on your food, check out the largest collection of Jim Beam decanters on display.

Located in Huntsville, the Burritt On The Mountain museum sits on top of Monte Sano Mountain offering visitors unique treasures and breathtaking views.

Named for Dr. William Burritt after he donated the land, the historic park features nature trails, Dr. Burritt’s fascinating mansion, six log cabins, outbuildings, and a barnyard busy with animals.

The museum offers a glimpse of rural farm life between 1800 and 1900 in addition to outdoor concerts, exhibits and theatrical events.

Historic Park programs are featured each month and the holidays offer seasonal delights with events including Candlelight Christmas, Holiday Magic, and the Easter Pawrade.

If Adolf Hitler’s personal silver tea service, parachute dummies or a recreation of a WWI trench with a dugout is on your bucket list of things to see, you should drop a pin for the Berman Museum of World History in Anniston.

Oil paintings, intricate jade sculptures, expressive Remington bronzes, ancient and modern weapons, photos, clothing, hands-on displays and lifelike dioramas fill the galleries and bring history to life through the eyes of artists and craftsmen.

Joe Minter is proud of his African-American heritage and he's been collecting and populating his Birmingham yard with folk art since 1989 to prove it.

A retired construction worker, Joe Minter's spiritually inspired sculpture garden was created from objects he found or discovered at flea markets, thrift shops and garage sales.
