It is a drive or walk only...not an inside home tour. I wanted to go in some homes but my husband just wanted to ride. So he was happy and I was a little disappointed but the cool thing is that ever home in the area had a sign that told you the family name and year the home was... More

Twickenham is a wonderful place if you like historic homes or architecture. It's great to drive through but much better viewing if you walk. My husband and I will get a sitter for a "date" afternoon and wander around the neighborhood. It never gets old.

Had the area pointed out to us at the Alabama Constitution Village, but never went through. The location pointed out on Trip Advisor is wrong and the web site on the page points to a Twickenham church.

This historic district is well preserved and has many interesting houses to view. We did it all from the car. Only complaint is that the map you get from the visitor's center is hard to follow.

My husband ordered a map ahead from the visitor center for a walking tour. We would be only able to do the walking tour when the visitor center was to be closed. We parked our car in a public parking area just off the square and followed the map in the great booklet they sent us. The booklet tells about... More

Take a few moments and drive through this beautiful historic district. The people of Huntsville are to be commended for the efforts they have put into preserving these homes. Only wish we could have seen the interiors of some of them. This was a very pleasant experience with the top down after breakfast.

This is an historic neighborhood filled with homes with colorful pasts. Many examples of architecture. We never fail to bring guests to the area for a most enjoyable stroll. Periodic house tours are not to be missed.

We drove around the neighborhood and the homes are very impressive and beautiful. The cemetary is vast and if it wasn't so hot, we would have walked around outside. Worth seeing.
