Tuscaloosa, Alabama is a city of 80,000 located on the banks of the Black Warrior River.  A forward-thinking community, Tuscaloosa is officially a “cool city” for its commitment to climate protection.

1. Visit The Old Tavern.  This piece of early Tuscaloosa history has been preserved and is right downtown. Originally built in 1827 as an inn on the stagecoach route, today this fabulous piece of architecture sits 3 blocks away from its original location. Admission is free!

2. Visit the Alabama Museum of Natural History.  Located in Smith Hall on the University of Alabama campus, this is the place to see dinosaurs without getting eaten by them! The museum showcases items from prehistory to today, all of them making Alabama such a great place to be.

3. Watch a play at the Bama Theater.  Or a movie, a children’s play, or a dance production. Restored to its 1930’s grandeur, this facility combines the opulent beauty of a bygone era with first-class computerized sound and lighting from today.

4. Boat the Black Warrior River.  This scenic river is part of an enormous watershed, all within Alabama. Both traditional fishing and flyfishing opportunities are here, as well as swimming, canoeing, and waterskiing.

5. Watch the Crimson Tide roll!  University of Alabama athletics are nationally famous for good reason: they’re exciting! From football, baseball, basketball and track to volleyball, swimming, soccer and gymnastics, the action is fast and the crowd is firmly behind their team!
