The Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives is located in Athens Alabama at 100 Pryor Street. When you enter the renovated L&N Depot building you get a feeling of stepping back in the past. The old brick walls and real hardwood floors lends such nostalgia to your visit. Then you tour the facility, each branch of the service is represented, you have a guide who are mainly veteran volunteers. They tell you of each display with personal experiences and genuine feeling. The first Saturday of each month is Coffee Call (free breakfast) for the veterans and their families to attend and swap stories or just enjoy each other company. Generally there is a guest speaker with information pertinent to the veteran life. The Museum as just recently brought on board a Director who is a retired veteran as well. There is no charge for this wonderful educational facility however donations are accepted since the museum is only partially funded by the city and county. You will be very pleased you took the time to stop in and visit, you are always welcomed! For more information please visit their website www.AlabamaVeteransMuseum.com
