Tannehill State Park, Alabama

We happened upon one of the neatest events of the year for the locals in Birmingham, Alabama and surrounding areas. In fact, this event draws thousands of people from all over Alabama to celebrate Halloween at Tannehill State Park. Families start to prepare 1-2 months in advance by parking their RV's and Fifth Wheels at Tannehill to elaborately decorate for Halloween. They set up camp and live there for a month or two and have big parties with lots of good grub while they watch football on their big screen tv's that they set up outside their RV's.

Besides a fun Halloween event, Tannehill is known for its historical Ironworks Mill. Steve gave the kids a history lesson about the Civil War while we visited one of the mills where they made the canons and guns for the Confederate army.
