Tuscumbia is a bustling town, with a beautiful, historic downtown area, with many small stores that are family owned and operated. This is small town America at its best. Large businesses thrive here also, so there is a good mix. Much of the historic downtown area has been revamped and remodeled over the last few years, bringing to life buildings that have been standing for over a hundred years. With our rich history and even brighter future, Tuscumbia is not only a great place to visit, but one to spend a lifetime.

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. 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 (shown on left), 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.
