The Muscle Shoals area of Alabama is rich in history, tradition and spirit. Nestled in the northwest region of the state of Alabama on the beautiful Tennessee River, "the Shoals" is quite possibly Alabama's best kept secret. A cultural melting pot of talent; artists, musicians, and actors abound in the area.

Shoals area consists of the four cities of Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield and Tuscumbia. All are within minutes driving distance of each other, providing a unique appeal of shops, galleries, restaurants, colleges, churches and civic organizations. Each unique city attracts local, regional, national and international visitors alike. Attractions include the W.C. Handy (Father of the Blues) home and museum, the birthplace of Helen Keller (Ivy Green), the Frank Lloyd Wright-Rosenbaum house, the Natchez Trace Parkway , the Belle Mont Mansion, Kennedy-Douglas Center for the Arts, and the Tennessee Valley Art Center.

Located within comfortable driving distance from the cities of Birmingham, Huntsville, Memphis, Nashville; the Shoals community has a lot to offer those looking for a weekend getaway or a day trip to experience the natural beauty of the Tennessee river and explore the art community in the northern Alabama area.
