Things to Do in Birmingham… Feeling Historical… Feeling Brave…
Things to do in Birmingham… Feeling Historical… Birmingham Civil Rights District…………………………………………………..0.7 miles from the Elyton Area of downtown Birmingham where several key events took places in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Significant landmarks include: 16th Street Baptist Church, Kelly Ingram Park, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the A. G. Gaston Motel. This district was recently dedicated a National Monument. Sloss Furnaces …………………………………………………….……………………….. 2 miles from the Elyton Sloss is a 32-acre blast furnace plant where iron was made for nearly 100 years. Now a museum of history and industry, the site preserves a collection of machinery, buildings and industrial structures. These artifacts typify the first 100 years of Birmingham' s history and the technology that drove America' s rise to world industrial dominance. Sloss is the only 20th century blast furnace in the country being preserved and interpreted as a museum. Vulcan Park & Museum ……………………………………………………………….. 3.2 miles from the Elyton Young and old. Modern and classic. It's a fusion that makes Birmingham truly magical. At Vulcan Park and Museum, we're a perfect blend of past and present, representing the spirit of our city. With breathtaking views of the city and a modern, yet timeless space for hosting, Vulcan Park and Museum holds distinction as a premier venue in Birmingham. Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum……………………………………….. 19 miles from the Elyton Home to the world’s best motorcycle collection, the museum now has more than 1200 vintage and modern motorcycles and racecars and the largest collection of Lotus cars as well as other significant makes.

Now that you’ve visited the garden, please consider applying its princi- ples to your own patch of land: Natives are easier to grow, more Garden resistant to pests, and better adapted to the local climate. In other words, they’re often the best choice... both for birds and for you. SOME NATIVE PLANTS AT AVONDALE Consider the following standouts when devel- oping your own habitat garden—most, if not all, can be found at local nurseries throughout the summer. Black-eyed Susan Rudbeckia hirta Planting Black-eyed Susans in your garden will add more than just a splash of yellow—the ma- ture plant’s seeds are also an excellent source of food for wild birds. Best of all, well-established Rudbeckia stands can often perpetuate them- selves with little to no maintenance.
