Alabama Agricultural Museum’s grand reopening

According to Landmark Park’s website, the museum has been on Park property in Dothan since 1992. So, while it’s not *new* per se, it did get a major facelift, which calls for celebration.

The reopening showcased all new exhibits spread across the 6,000-square-foot space. The museum highlights agricultural history across the Wiregrass region from the 1890s. Bonus? Some of the artifacts from Landmark Park’s collection are also on display.

Governor Ivey joins the party

Governor Kay Ivey made the trip down to Dothan to help celebrate the reopening. She shared that her rural roots made the exhibit especially meaningful, and is incredibly excited for Alabama students to have a new, interactive way to discover our history.

“This is history at its best. It’s a great way to teach our young people about the past, and to know where they came from. When they know what the past was like, they can work toward the future. I am very proud to be here and be a part of this.”

—Governor Kay Ivey, Alabama
