Bellingrath's 75th Anniversary

On Wednesday, July 28th, Bellingrath Gardens and Home will celebrate its 75th anniversary. If you want to learn more about the home and its architecture, that’s the day to visit.

Of course, it’s a great place to visit any time. What’s not to love about a 10,500-square-foot home built in 1935? The original furnishings and a variety of gardens over a 65-acre estate make this a beautiful and fascinating historical site.

July’s a great time to visit, with the variety of colorful flowers blooming. And let’s not forget that it was designated as the “Top Public Rose Garden in the United States” in 2004 by All-America Rose Selections.

Bellingrath is just one of many attractions along Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
