Art & Museums

Foley Railroad Museum Photo by Jessica Jones

Baldwin County offers opportunities for learning and exploration with its many museums and art galleries. The South certainly boasts a rich history of battlefields, agrarian lifestyle and community. You’ll feel small-town charm coupled with past preservation as you visit sites like the Foley Alabama Railroad Museum. The pace slows as you step onto actual L&N Railroad cars and imagine yourself in the action with the museum’s model train display.

The Holmes Medical Museum gives a glance into less exact times in medicine as you marvel at antiques, including the building, itself, that acted as the county’s first hospital in 1936. But the South’s history, loss and deep roots have certainly carved some of the world’s best, creative minds. Art galleries showcase local talent caressed through paintbrush, wet pottery fingers and beyond. Attend live-model classes, get tips from the experts or gather supplies from an area Studio and let your own creative juices flow. Add some artistic synapses with help from Christine Linson Gallery, Eastern Shore Art Center, Jan’s Art Studio, Performing Arts Association and Tom Jones Pottery. Christine Linson Gallery

VISITOR SUMMER 2012

GoGulfCoastNow.com

You’ve heard the term Southern Hospitality…well a large part of that refers to food. Baldwin County eateries know how to treat their guests right—variety, bold flavors and large portions. Everything’s bigger down here, so we’ll make sure you get down-home favorites, seafood sensations, and plenty of it. Plus a tall glass of sweet tea to wash it down. For a true taste of the Gulf Coast, lose yourself in crab cakes, hush puppies, po boys and fresh oysters. Visit one of our famous seafood restaurants, and don’t worry, there’s always a chicken, pork or beef option for the less adventurous in your group. But we cater to the lighter side, too. Café stylelunches leave you refreshed, energetic and ready for your next destination. Check out paninis, wraps, salads, desserts and more at our Cafés, Bakeries and Delis. Of course, we also satisfy exotic cravings: find Chinese, sushi, Italian and Mexican eateries throughout Baldwin County. There’s no shortage of real Alabama fare—meatloaf, fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy are in no short supply; or please the more refined palate with scrumptious wines and cheeses or delectable delicacies of caviar, lamb, duck and octopus.
