Wetumpka Area Parks & Museums

A classic example of a "Dog Trot" cabin is located within the Crommelin's Landing area. The cabin affectionately called the "Ma Brown Cabin" was constructed in true dog trot fashion and houses some items of historic interest. Moving the circa 1850 cabin to its present location was a project of the Elmore County Historical Society and Museum.

A unique two- story log cabin with an interior loft constructed circa 1855 was also relocated to Crommelin's Landing as part of America's Bicentennial Celebration.

The "Peace Pole", a square piece of wood carved with words of peace written in four different languages, was a gift to the City and is reputed to be the only one of its kind in the State. The "Peace Pole" was the original focal point for participants to gather at the Mayor's annual observance of the National Day of Prayer, conducted during the month of May.

Located at the original Crommelin's Landing is a public boat launch and dock for access to the Coosa River. Picnic facilities are available and a system of nature trails provide visitors with panoramic views of the river and the beautiful Bibb Graves Bridge, one of only two suspended concrete reinforced bridges in the state of Alabama.

 The Old Calaboose 

Located on the bank of the Coosa River at the northernmost end of the nature trail is The Old Calaboose, Wetumpka's first jail built in the early 1800s.

Elmore County Museum of Black History

In 1986, members of the black community sought to save a landmark by turning the Old Elmore County Training School into a Museum of Black History.  This effort has been accomplished through an organization called the Elmore County Association of Black Heritage, which was to oversee the management of the museum.  Located at 1004 Lancaster Street, the Museum has permanent collections focusing on schools, churches and black families whose donated artifacts make up the exhibits.  The museum can be toured by appointment. Call Frazine Taylor (334) 567-8395 or Gwen Turner (334) 567-5330.

Other museums are located in the Wetumpka area, including the Holmes Wildlife Museum which features more than 700 species of mounted wildlife shown in natural habitat vignettes.

Call Al Holmes, (334) 567-7966 for an appointment and tour M-F 9:30AM - 4:30PM.

Elmore County Museum

The Elmore County Museum is located at 112 South Main Street in Wetumpka.  The Elmore County Historical Society was chartered in 1976.  Through the years, the society has been instrumental in the work of Fort Toulouse/Jackson State Historic Site, restoration of the Dog Trot log cabin and the reestablishment of the Elmore County Museum.  The museum will officially open on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 at 2:30 P.M. with a ribbon cutting/grand opening celebration.

 Fort Toulouse/Jackson State Historic Site

Perched on a bluff near the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers,

Fort Toulouse/Jackson State Historic Site, a 180- acre game and wildlife sanctuary attracts thousands of visitors each year and offers a variety of recreational and educational experiences.

Each November the park hosts what has become known as the state's most authentic "Living History" event.  Alabama Frontier Days, which annually attracts some 15, 000 visitors, offers a unique look into the culture of the South as it transformed from Creek Indian land to pioneer settler forts and homesteads.

During this 4-day period, Fort Toulouse is occupied by a full force of authentically costumed French Colonial Marines and Creek Indians. Scheduled events include demonstrations on Native American Pottery Making, Dugout Canoe Construction, Early American Spinning, Weaving, Dyeing, and Blacksmithing, as well as various forms of period entertainment.

Each spring, a French and Indian War Encampment is held at the park  Activities include living history camps, demonstrations by the French Colonial Marines, and a mock battle which takes place throughout the weekend.

In addition, a living history event is held during the third weekend of each month with the exception of December. Programs rotate between the French Colonial Marines and the Fort Jackson Battalion.

Recently 250 acres located just to the right of the park were purchased by the Forever Wild Program to be operated in conjunction with Fort Toulouse/Jackson State Historic Site. The sites of old Fort Jackson Town, the first county seat for Montgomery County and Jackson Camp, the living quarters of 2000 soldiers who constructed Fort Jackson are contained within this acreage.  Signs of prehistoric Indian mounds and village sites have also been located.

The park offers campgrounds with RV hookups, hiking trails, an arboretum, picnic areas, a boat launch, and visitor's center with museum and gift shop.

Vietnam War Memorial

A granite monument stands on the lawn beside the retaining wall in front of the old Elmore County Courthouse located in downtown Wetumpka.  The polished marker is the Elmore County Vietnam Memorial.On its dark reflective surface are inscribed names of fifteen men from Elmore County who lost their lives in the Vietnam conflict.

The idea for the memorial originated from Jonathan Tinsley of Wetumpka.  He designed the tablet as his Eagle Scout project and oversaw its creation.  Dedication ceremonies for the monument were held February 4, 1995.

Wetumpka Depot Players Theater

Located at 300 South Main Street, this lot once was home to a street-car diner.  Built in the mid-1940s and opened as a grocery store, this current building has served as the same through the years.  Wetumpka Depot Players purchased the building in December 1999.  The theater can seat 150 guests for each performance of its several presentations each year.  They have done extensive remodeling to make the facility beautifully appointed with spacious lobby, snack bar and pictorial displays of numerous productions. The Depot is a cultural and social asset to the community.
