When you visit the Rosenwald School at Burritt on the Mountain, you immediately get a sense of what school was like back in the early 1900s. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with photographs of the children who attended and the rich history of this building. Begun in 1912, Rosenwald schools were built through a partnership between Julius Rosenwald, a Jewish philanthropist and president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., and black educator Booker T. Washington, along with support from the local black and white communities. Between 1913 and 1932, nearly 5,000 new schools were built in 15 states and thousands of students received an education, learned trades and skills, and were awarded better opportunities as a result of this education. #visitnorthal #northalabama #alabama #sweethomealabama #blackhistorymonth #burrittonthemountain #rosenwaldschools #visithuntsvilleal

Sweet Home North Alabama

From mountains and lakes to rockets and space, North Alabama is a beautiful place!

North Alabama is a diverse region that offers something for everyone. We are blessed with beautiful nature all around us. Alabama is known as the Land of Thousand Waterfalls, and North Alabama is home to many of them. These majestic waterfalls are all over our region from state line to state line. For more info, go to www.northalabama.org/trails/waterfalls.

North Alabama is also home to six beautiful, unique state parks: Buck’s Pocket State Park, Cathedral Caverns State Park, DeSoto State Park, Joe Wheeler State Park, Lake Guntersville State Park, and Monte Sano State Park. Little River Canyon National Preserve and Bankhead National Forest are among the places in North Alabama where beauty abounds.

You’ll also find some of the best fishing in North Alabama on its eight great lakes: Bear Creek Lakes, Lake Guntersville, Neely Henry Lake, Pickwick Lake, Smith Lake, Weiss Lake, Wheeler Lake, and Wilson Lake. For more info on our fishing, go to https://www.northalabama.org/things-to-do/hunting-and-fishing.
