f you're going to be in the north part of Alabama, I second the Space & Rocket Center, and you're close enough to Lynchburg, TN to tour the Jack Daniels facility (really fun tour). Civil War battlefields in TN are also good visits (Chattanooga, Shiloh, even Franklin. Then there's the Helen Keller museum at Ivy Green in Tuscumbia. The Ave Maria Grotto in Cullman is a quirky place, too. I second the Barber Motorcycle Museum in Leeds (outside Birmingham) -- even if you don't like cycles, it's an amazing place with some beautiful bikes. In Georgia, Dahlonaga has a nice little museum on the 1st gold rush in the US. Then if you get over to Mississippi, you have to get to Natchez, and driving the Natchez Trace up to Nashville is beautiful. Have a wonderful trip.
