Official Alabama Agricultural Museum
Dothan Landmark Park
The official Agricultural Museum for the State of Alabama is Landmark Park in Dothan. The 100-acre park is dedicated to preserving the cultural and natural heritage of the Wiregrass Region of Southeast Alabama. Some of the features of the park are a 1890s living history farm, a one-room schoolhouse, a general store, and a turn-of the-century church. The more modern features include elevated boardwalks, nature trails, wildlife exhibits, a planetarium, and a picnic area.
The Landmark Park became the State Agricultural Museum in 1992.
