I had just received a new Canon Camera and wanted to try it out so here are some of the places where I took pictures.

House across street from Constitution Village 

Constitution Village

The Village rests on the actual site where the Alabama Constitutional Convention was held in 1819.

Alabama became the 22nd state admitted to the Union on December 14, 1819. This living history museum features costumed guides who lead visitors on a tour of a working village. A cabinetmaker's shop, print shop, confectionary shop, library and post office are all featured. More than eight carefully reconstructed buildings of the 1800s depict early lifestyles in Alabama, including that of African-American settlers. It also commemorates the place where the 1819 Constitutional Convention was held.

Weeden House

Built in 1819, the house at 300 Gates Avenue is now open to the public as the Weeden House Museum and Garden.  Dr. William Weeden bought the house in 1845 and his descendants owned it until 1956.  Now owned by the City of Huntsville, it is leased by the Twickenham Historic Preservation District Association and maintained as a 19 century house museum.
Earlier residents included John McKinley who lived in the house
