You are in for a treat if Jane is the docent, you are lucky enough to have as the guide. Jane made it a wonderful story talking about not just the architecture of the house but also the architect, Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright himself as well as the family and the late 30s time frame. Fascinating story of how the only FLW designed house came to be in Alabama - well worth the money. The 1 hour time just flew by and really thoroughly loved the whole experience.

Great tour and lesson about this unique home turned museum. Our docent was great; a former teacher who knew how much information was necessary and when to stop and let us explore on our own in the home. I don't know much about Frank Lloyd Wright, but it was interesting to learn about how the house came about and the design. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It doesn't say it on the website, but the tours start at the 15 of each hour and last about 45 minutes. You can stay and take pics in the garden and yard, too. This was a great find.

Very cool house. Takes about 30 minutes to complete the tour. The gift shop and ticket office for entry are across the street in the school. Happy to see Alabama invested in its restoration. Giving it four stars only because two doors were missing and there wasn't very many souvenirs in tv he gift shop.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of this amazing home. Every room was unique and had beautiful views of the outside. We can't wait to see more of these beautiful homes by Frank Loyd Wright.

This was almost a private tour for us. The Docent was informative and provided a great tour of this site and the house with both historical anecdotes and FLW stylistic notations. The location is easy to get to, has ample parking, the fee is reasonable, and the tour lasted 35-45 minutes and gave us a perfect break in our drive from Destin to Missouri. This is a don’t miss and pass this by museum that should be on your next trip near Florence, AL.

Adored this place! I'm a big fan of historical spots, art and restoration. This place has it all. It was beautiful to explore, the tour guide was amazing, the gift shop was also amazing. I'm a big fan of spending money someplace like this for education and art.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the house. I was amazed at the size of the rooms and the very small doors. The garden was beautiful.

UNA has progressed since I started and is a college I might have actually enjoyed starting if I weren't finishing. They do have an outdoor center that allows the students to check out kayaks and a Friends of International Students outreach as well now. When I first started, I was paying monthly and the time came when I finished my basics but was an undecided major because I didn't know what I wanted to do and my advisor told me in my meeting with her that I really needed to have a major and that I should know what I wanted to do by then (I was only 22) and if I didn't then there wasn't really much she could help me with. My most recent advisor for my career was much better at advising me. The staff was 50/50. Most of the professors are really good at explaining their material and passionate about what they do. Sadly, my favorite history professor was an adjunct so was only around for that semester. Unfortunately, the majority of the basics professors are the ones that really lacked in making me want to stay there. We had one professor that would count us absent even if a few minutes tardy, which makes first year students feel like they might as well not even be in the class if they're unable to find parking and running late. Graduation, though exciting after so many years was also really irritating. After thousands of dollars and twelve years of working towards my Bachelor's while working full-time, my graduation ceremony had a 6-person maximum. My mom, dad, partner, and three grandparents were able to attend. My three siblings, one of which just started this same college, my step dad, my step grandmother, and all the other people that had supported me were unable to see me walk in person because they're so strict about attendance. Their only response was that they could watch it via live stream as if 1) everyone happened to have access to the internet (which we didn't at my parent's house) and 2) that it was the same thing as seeing the first in three generations achieve a college degree. With as much money as I had spent on getting the degree, I really wanted to be able to have everyone that helped me (mentally and financially) watch me recieve it. To top it all off, the graduation ceremony was delayed by 2 hours, which we didn't find out until we got there so my partner who had only been able to get the morning off work for, had the leave halfway through because of the delay. Less recent, yet, equally irritating: The cost. The fees are ridiculous: mandatory transportation fee for a bus that never came anywhere near my apartment, recreation facility fee for a pool and gym I was unable to use, technology fee though I used my own laptop, camera, Internet, etc. Most obvious: the parking. Absolutely atrocious. Freshmen can't even park on campus, they have to use a parking deck downtown. Everyone else that is allowed on campus or near the university needs to come an hour or two early to circle the parking lot(s)/deck(s) like a vulture to find anything within 5 minutes of their class starting as there's definitely twice as many students as there are parking spots. Not so much a problem for everyone: online classes. For a university that states to have to capability of getting a completely online degree, there are an awful lot of classes unable to be taken online and an equally disappointing amount of classes that are only offered once every two years that make timely degrees a bit hard. This was a selling point for me coming back for my degree while working and ended up being a hassle to actually take classes. The nicest thing about this University is the aesthetics (even though it is too spread out to efficiently get to classes across campus) and they do offer the IDS degree that makes it easier to graduate for someone that swapped majors too many times while still getting a customized program of study that focuses on the things that would actually be needed for their career.

Excellent experience doing my masters online. Awesome cohort with student from around the world. Great professors. Tremendous value or the tuition they charge.

Great school and campus with beautiful scenery!

UNA is an amazing university!!! Aside from it being the oldest public university in Alabama & a beautiful historic campus, it's a place anyone can become an alumnus!!! It DOES take work, but no matter how old you are, they welcome you with open arms!!! Don't give up on your dreams, I never thought I could, but I made it across that stage 5 years after I began. UNA offers so many degrees online, making it so easy & flexible to get your degree. The professors who teach online are awesome & very understanding.

Beautiful campus. The lion habitat was really cool.

Culinary school will help development the fundamental kitchen safety and food preparation skills necessary to succeed in the food industry. Here are some International cuisines taught by the Executive Chef professors at the School of North Alabama.

Very beautiful. Open grass, staff and people were nice. Mascot came to the fountain of UNA when they heard our cheerleaders were coming for pictures. They were overjoyed to have them there. UNA students came to help voluntarily. I applaud those to came to help calm the kids down and helped with the security and containment of the area with all the people there.

Diane was so sweet and helpful. You can tell she thoroughly loves what she does!! Thank you for your hospitality!! The museum holds a lot of memorabilia and the home was so neat to see.

I love to learn about famous African American. It was nice learning and seeing where he was born.

Very informative. I'm glad I stopped. Great displays. Friendly staff. Nice museum.

Very cool place to visit. We have lived in northern Alabama for 6 yrs now, and I have been told about a Handy Festival. Today we got to learn more about this talented person. By far the best part was the lady working there ( Diane), she was funny, and sweet. I highly recommend stopping just to talk with her.

This is a wonderful museum filled with great memorabilia. The docent was excellent and knowledgable about all of the exhibits. It is definitely worth the trip!

Interesting facts presented by the hostess of Mr. Handy's life and career, while viewing memorabilia. Original boyhood home is attached to the museum (moved from its original location elsewhere in town)

The docent was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her presentation and tour.

The park was clean and safe and the trails were fantastic. It was lots of information about nature and the animals that were in the park. There was ample parking and clean bathrooms

Great Park. Nicely Shaded. Has the cutest little turtles in the lookout ponds that you can feed. Nice walking trail also. Has a big pavilion right by the playground so you can sit & keep a good eye on your child(ren).

A very pretty park with a pavillion, walking path, and pond. I didn't go far from the parking lot, but I had a very nice time sitting in my chair in the shade and having coffee.

Nice clean park with beautiful scenery. It's a great place to bring children to play. There is lots of equipment to play on. It's also a great place to go for a walk. It has a great little paved trail. A nice big pond with a gazebo. It has great views! Bathrooms on site as well as covered picnic tables! Benches throughout the park. There's even a little free library!

One of the best parks in Florence! Plenty of trail for walking/jogging. Turtles everywhere and sometimes you can see rabbits and other creatures during spring. Great place for photos, bring kids, have a date, clear your head, whatever. I love it here. And best of all it’s FREE!

This park is stunningly beautiful and so very serene and peaceful. It is the perfect demonstration of Florence's grand outdoor attitude and exhibits our local pride for our parks and for our rich heritage. If you have not had the pleasure, grab the family pet, a Frisbee, a kite, your roller blades or just a picnic basket and get there today. Feed the fish and turtles before you stroll past the blue calming waters and gaze up at the rustling pines in the forest. Truly a Florence treat!!

Beautiful place to take the kids or walk your dog. Lots of water and bridges. Covered patio areas for picnics. Restrooms available and usually clean. Always see fish and turtles, sometimes other wildlife. Great place to walk alone because there are always other people around.

Nothing like I was expecting. This in in someone's actual yard, and u enter through their driveway. Parking is across the road in a field(??) The wall follows the roadside left and right. It's very neat, and it was fun looking at treasures people had hidden in the stones

A place with sacred feminine energy that is worth the trip. Take a gift to leave behind.

Magical place. Lucky to have great great grandson there to tell stories and explain their importance. Had book, video, etc. for sale. Cash only. Stay awhile and visit. Park across the street. Interesting afternoon. Difficult handicapped access.

Please look into the history before you go! It makes the experience even better. We were able to walk through on our own and just imagen the stories that are laid out. Worth the trip and will go again but take something to leave.

I recommend watching a video of Tom Hendrix explaining why he spent over 30 years constructing the Wall to honor his great grandmother before visiting the site. It would help to know in advance something about the history and significance of his work. This makes the experience much more informative and interesting.

This place is amazing. The story of Tom Hendrix's great, great, great grandmother is inspiring (and heartbreaking). It was so touching to see the heart and soul Tom put into building this tribute to her. And heartwarming to see the momentos that visitors have added over time. It's almost totally in the shade so on a hot day it's comfortable in the shade. There are a couple of spots to sit down (he made stone benches). Allow time for a peaceful stroll and also the opportunity to speak with the family members. On the day we went, Tom's son Trace was there to share stories and answer questions. You park across the street on the right side of the road.

Great place to take the grandkids --to help them acquire a sense of the Trail of Tears. Lovely, wooded area with fascinating rock structure and memorable collections. No restroom facilities nearby. Definitely worth the visit.

Haunted maybe n beautiful yes to me & my father j.r used to visit pope’s tavern on the weekend they have lots of historical info what went on around this site just trust me it's a good place to visit

Pretty cool place to visit. They are currently doing some renovations outside close to were you park. The young lady ( Dena) who was working was very knowledgeable and was great. I highly recommend stopping and checking it out!.

Unfortunately I didnt get to spend as much time as I might have as they were having a homecoming parade of some sort and I didnt want to get caught there til the afternoon. But what I did get to see was pretty interesting. They do have some parking but I as saw the first day it fills up pretty fast so I would get there early if possible. They have a bathroom and a few outdoor things to see. Overall I would go see it if in the area.

Very interesting. I learned a lot, especially from David P. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our time there. It's a must see!

This was a wonderfully interesting museum with exceptional docents. The exhibits were well done and the staff took time to explain and answer all of the questions. It's a great place to learn about the local history.

Pope's Tavern is such a gem that is hiding in plain sight. A tremendous amount of history and artifacts around the Civil War, enslaved people, and the south in general. Great for kids to adults.

The girl at the front desk answered all of our questions and seemed to really love history. We enjoyed our time looking around Pope's Tavern.
