The Cullman County Museum, which opened in 1973 during Cullman's Centennial, is housed in a replica of Col. Cullmann's home. The museum brings the past to life in its displays, paying tribute to the families that made the area their home. Each room showcases a different aspect of life in early Cullman.

The Archeological Room houses artifacts from the earliest Cullman County settlers, the Native Americans. The centerpiece of the room is a seven-foot tall Indian warrior carved from a sweet gum tree. Located in the Primitive Room are turn-of-the-century tools used to carve a living out of Cullman County's hilly landscape. Wood rafters and walls taken from old local barns are the backdrop for plows, lanterns, household items, and other fixtures of daily living. In the Clothing Store, imagine what wearing one of the articles on display -- ranging from bustles to a 1920s bathing suit -- would be like.

Then, take a walk along Main Street. Various turn-of-the-century shops showcase items found in photography studios, doctors' offices, gun shops, and other specialized stores. The center of the room shows off a wishing well, the original school bell, and a beer wagon replica housing scrapbooks on Cullman life. And the Nursery, with its dolls, toy plane and tea sets, brings to mind childhood pastimes. One wall of the South Room -- the Wall of Pictures -- is a photographic history of Cullman County. The rest of the room is a reminder of parlors and music rooms.

The highlight of the museum is the re-creation of Col. Cullmann's Room, containing his own bed, rocking chair and sofa as well as other items from his life.

The museum is located at 211 Second Avenue Northeast, across the street from Cullman City Hall. Small admission is charged. Great group rates available. For more information call the Cullman County Museum at (256) 739-1258 or visit their site at www.cullmancountymuseum.com.
