Neat little historical place to visit in the lovely little town of Tuscumbia. Plan your visit to coinside with the annual Miracle Worker play performed by local talent.

This is a must see if you are in the area. It relates the story of Keller's remarkable life and allows you to tour through some of the structures she knew. The "museum" is so-so but the tour guides are superb and the experience unique. It is a beautiful facility. Be sure to see the well where Keller first learned... More

As a long-time Alabamian, I always wanted to come to Ivy Green. I finally got my chance and I was blown away. The people of Tuscumbia and the Lions Club did Helen Keller (and the State of Alabama) proud. The main house, the grounds, the small cottage where Anne Sullivan worked her miracles, are all well preserved and stocked full... More

My daughter was studying Helen Keller in school, so we made this trip for her. Can't believe I had never been! It was a great trip, the house was fascinating and the grounds are beautiful. Helen is such an inspiring person, we made the trip to the Nat'l Cathedral the next summer to see her tomb.

Where Helen keller was born and a lovely cottage right downtown Tuscumbia! Learn about her blindness and struggles as she became the ambassador for the blind and deaf in America in the middle part of the twentieth century. This is truly a "must see" when visiting this small town in NW Alabama.

This teacher was excited to be in the Tuscumbia area the weekend after my students learned about Helen Keller. I was prepared to stand in line listening to well rehearsed albeit dry, information about Helen Keller. Instead on this cold, rainy day my husband and I were treated to an inspiring and informative tour of the Keller home. Our tour... More

This is a self guided tour of Helen Keller's childhood home. During a brief orientation to the house given by the hostesses, visitors learn some of the history of the house and land, and the identities of persons in the photos in the hall. One of these is of Helen Keller when she was seven. Others include her parents and... More
