Discoveries Alabama - Travel Video DVD.
Dauphin Island is the gateway to the
latest “Discoveries…America” documentary featuring the state of Alabama.
History buffs can learn about Fort Gaines (Damn the torpedoes - full
speed ahead!) while nature lovers can explore the sandy
beaches,
estuaries of the island and the heronry, home of many nesting Great Blue
Herons. Offshore, oystermen have been working the gulf for generations,
bringing in an important harvest and component of the
local economy.
Sea Lab, the marine science and education center, is home to the Estuarium, a place where visiting students get their feet wet exploring
the marine environment and local researchers study jellyfish and sea
grass. Mobile is an historic city with stately ante bellum mansions,
like the Bragg Mitchell home. The original Mardi Gras city now has
its own Carnival Museum.
Further north is Selma, a town internationally recognized as ground
zero for the voting rights movement of 1965. The Museum of Voting
Rights explains the history of the foot soldiers who marched across the
Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, all the way to Montgomery, in the fight
to secure the Voting Rights Act.
The rolling hills of northern Alabama are home to a variety of
outdoor pursuits, among them, the sport of raccoon hunting. Coon
dog training is serious business here, so much so that the only coon dog
cemetery in the world is located here. At the Mt. Top Flea Market
outside of Atalla, over 100 acres of vendors sell just about anything
under the sun. “If it’s not here this week, come back next…” Ave
Maria Grotto is located on the grounds of a Benedictine monastery.
For several decades one of the monks labored to create an unusual
display of miniatures…scale models of unique architectural buildings
from around the world. 60 minutes. High Definition. |
