On Friday, a beautiful friend extended a thoughtful gift that would have my husband and I walking around with a historical guide in downtown Huntsville, ducking into occasional shops for a lovely tea, coffee, or treat. We learned about the business origins and the historical significance of the buildings and area. We also saw areas that housed gatherings for civil rights, learned about ways they peacefully protested segregation at movie houses and beyond, and saw women suffrage meeting spaces with an incredible comemorative mural. The guide, Denice, was very knowledgeable, a joy to talk with, and I would highly recommend these tours for any age. I told my girls about it when I got home and they were a little envious that they weren't there. Im gonna have to sign up for another tour soon!!!
