Tuscumbia - small
town America at it's
best. It has
been thought that
small town America
is dying amid the
onslaught of urban
and suburban sprawl.
According to a study
by A. E. Luloff,
professor of rural
sociology and
agricultural
economics at Penn
State University, if
a community cares
about each other it
persists in the face
of enormous social,
demographic, and
economic changes.
This is
Tuscumbia.
A city proud of its
inheritance,
Tuscumbia, Alabama
is alive and getting
better all the time.
The city is
receiving a
facelift, thanks in
part to the
generosity of one of
its own, Harvey
Robbins.
Through his
bighearted spirit
and donations, this
city not only is
alive, but has made
it to primetime TV.
The Today Show
interviewed Mr.
Robbins and several
citizens of the city
last spring in a
documentary on the
revitalization of
the city.
Walk the streets of
Tuscumbia and you
will see the beauty
and feel the pride
of the residents!
Stop by our
bookstore and have
some music and
coffee while you are
entrenched in one of
the thousands of
books on display.
Need art? Look
no further than our
own art gallery or
shop in one of our
many specialty
stores for just the
right souvenir or
possibly the latest
trend in fashion.
Enjoy dinner in one
of our many
restaurants - we
have it all from
fast food to fine
elegant dining.
Join us for the
yearly festival that
celebrates our own
Helen Keller.
Visit her home,
watch the play and
get captured by the
spirit of a
remarkable and
courageous woman who
opened the door for
the blind.
Stroll through
Spring Park and take
a walk down memory
lane while enjoying
the water fountain
show, the ducks,
trout fishing, and
soon the train ride
that takes you
around the park and
over the water.
Don't forget our
Music Hall of Fame
where Alabamians
have contributed to
make the music
industry what it is
today - from
performance to
songwriting and from
management to
publishing.
While you are here,
don't miss the
opportunity to visit
the Tuscumbia
Depot/Museum.
The depot was
constructed in 1888
on site of the first
railroad west of the
Allegheny Mountains.
