Museum of Pell City

Just like building a town or a state, our museum is the handiwork of so many coming together with a single purpose – to create a lasting legacy for their own time and for the generations that follow.

Walk through the history of Alabama, which is part of the state’s bicentennial exhibit, Making Alabama. Pell City is one of five communities in the state honored by Alabama Humanities Alliance’s awarding of this special exhibit celebrating 200 years of statehood.

Ten Islands Historic Park

Ten Islands Historical Park, situated on the shores of Neely Henry Lake just above Neely Henry Dam, is a site you must explore if you’re in the vicinity. Begin with the paved entrance road, which offers numerous pullout opportunities. Stop and scan the open water to the east, where in winter you may find gulls and rafts of diving ducks, some loons (look for Pacific), grebes (watch for Eared or Red-necked), geese, and the occasional soaring Bald Eagle. Swallows, Chimney Swifts, and Purple Martins zip over the water in the warmer months.
