1. Alabama Confederate Soldiers Home
This was the official home for former soldiers of the Confederate States of America by the state of Alabama, located in what is now Confederate Memorial Park in Mountain Creek in Chilton County, Alabama. The grounds include two cemeteries, with 313 graves.

2. Jasmine Hill Gardens
This outdoor museum was built in the 1930s on the estate of the Fitzpatrick family, who spent many years in Greece collecting replicas of ancient statuary to adorn their formal gardens at Jasmine Hill. Today the gardens are run as a non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting the arts and Greek culture. The site includes a full-sized replica of the Temple of Hera at Olympia.
