We stopped in at the US Space and Rocket Center. Last Dec. we past through and seen the old Rockets and thought this year we stop and check it out. Staying in a small rv park they have on site at $20 a night. Small but with hookups. So yesterday we did the tour and seen a movie ($26 a piece) about future space travel and how nasa is preparing for it. The museum has a lot about the space race early years and Weiner Von Braun and his teams work. If your an ole fan of nasa then its pretty cool stuff. We tour about 4 hrs and could have stayed a little longer but had some turkey sandwiches calling my name back at base camp. Ya'll have a blessed day.

Huntsville is also home to Redstone Arsenal (an Army base) and could be a good Tennessee Valley base camp. There's a waterfront campground on the Tennessee River and a well established RV park near the PX but unfortunately there's an access control requirement being an Army Base and all.
In addition to the Space ad Rocket Center, some of the local attractions include;
