Mobile Alabama
The Heart of Alabama's Gulf Coast!

Mobile Alabama is the heart of Alabama's Gulf Coast Region that includes 32 miles of white sand beaches. Mobile is a city of rich Southern history in a setting of scenic views and beautiful nature. Mobile Bay sits on Alabama's Eastern Shore Trail, a network of hiking trails that begin at the USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park. The park is named for Raphael Semmes, the only commander of a Confederate ship (CSS ALABAMA) that captured 65 Union vessels worth more than $6 million before it was sunk on June 2, 1864.

Bragg Mitchell Mansion is a grand antebellum mansion built in 1855 that is reminiscient of a time when Mobile was a thriving cotton port in the Old South. Bellingrath Gardens is a 65 acre estate with a collection of flowers that provide visitors with something beautiful to see year round. Blooming flowers include camellias (in winter), azaleas (in spring), roses (in summer) and chrysanthemums (in the fall). Bellingrath also offers dinner cruises on Mobile Bay. The National African-American Archives & Museum contains the history of Colored Carnival, Hank Aaron Fan Club, portraits, biographies, carvings, artifacts, books and documents.

The Magnolia Grove Golf Course is a part of Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail and features 54 holes amid creeks, marshland and lakes. The Battle House is one of Mobile's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Collection resorts. Built in 1852, for 100 years, it served as Mobile's gathering place for high society and lodging for

Jefferson Davis and Woodrow Wilson. Now a four star Renaissance Hotel, it is an example of classic Southern charm and gentility. The Battle house is located 20 minutes from Magnolia Grove Golf Course.
