Trip Summary

There’s something special about this part of Alabama. The rich history of the lands around the Tennessee River has left a mark on our country. Through music and history this area has had its fair share of famous celebrities. A tour of Fame Studios will take you back in time. Florence has a bustling downtown that houses many great restaurants. Odette, Wildwood Tavern and Salt each offer a different dining experience. Wake up and walk the streets of Florence and grab some breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast and find yourself at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio on a tour. No stop to the Shoals would be complete without a stop at the Wilson Dam where you can see the TN River in all her beauty and maybe hear her song!
