Wandering Wednesday 3 continued

After I left the Fitzgerald museum, I headed to the Hank Williams Museum.  I was raised listening to Hank and any good Alabamian should be able to list facts about Hank!  Matter of fact, in 9th grade history, when we had to do a project on a famous Alabamian, I surprisingly wrote about Hank, and not Helen Keller!

Unfortunately, no pictures are allowed in this museum.  This was a dismay to me, as I need pictures for my blog.  There are video cameras throughout the museum and a monitor with about 9 different viewpoints right in front of the firl working the front.  But, I managed to break a few rules!

Guess I should have read that this was continued from the other side and gotten a pic of the other side.

yep, Hank's Cadillac convertible, in which he died in on Jan. 1, 1953.

 

 

 

 

After leaving this Museum I ventured down to the Riverfront.

 After taking these pics at the Riverfront, I decided to get back in my car and find the Hank Williams Statue.
Found another historical marker in this park for Elijah Cook.

Now it was about 1:30, so I figured I had better find lunch before it was too late.  I had looked up a couple places and had settled on one place, but a quick drive by and I thought, for a variety of reasons, that maybe I should rethink my plans.  So I decided to go to the Farmer's Market Cafe for a meat and three.

So after some Fried chicken, beets, cabbage, slaw and jalapeno cornbread (which wasn't bad, seeing I don't really care for cornbread) and lemon pie, I was in need for a nap!

At this point I have spent a grand total of 11.00 dollars on lunch (including tip),5.00 dollars at the Fitzgerald museum and 9.00 at the Hank Williams Museum(AAA membership saved me a whole dollar!), for a grand total of $25.00.

I drove to the Rosa Park's Museum, but it was getting close to 3 and it was a guided tour that takes 45 minutes to an hour and I was going to have to wait for a bit before starting my tour, so I opted not to go thru the museum on this trip.

Once again, I should have gotten a pic of the other side!

I knew the Mooseum was free, so I headed over there, thinking I would go in saying I was investigating it as a teacher, but once getting there, decided not to go in.  Maybe next trip.

Across the road was the Alabama Department of Archives and History, but it was closed for renovations.

 Although on the first floor there was a small exhibit.

I didn't make it to the zoo, The Civil Rights Memorial, The First White House of the Confederacy, The  Alabama War Memorial (also closed for renovations) or Old Alabama Town, so I think another trip to Montgomery might be in order!
