Discovery Series Ornament – Alabama
Discovery Series Ornament Alabama reflects the character of a state shaped by deep Southern history, a diverse landscape, and a culture rooted in both tradition and innovation. Alabama’s story includes Indigenous heritage, European settlement, cotton-era growth, and a major role in the Civil Rights Movement, all of which helped define its identity long before it joined the Union in 1819. Today, the state blends historic legacy with natural beauty and coastal leisure.
– Alabama’s coastline offers inviting stretches of sand and gentle waves, making it a wonderful place to unwind by the ocean. From the soft shores of Gulf Shores to the peaceful scenery of Orange Beach, visitors can relax, swim, and enjoy the warm Gulf breezes that define this part of the state.
– Flying proudly on the design is a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen of Alabama, the pioneering African American pilots who trained at Moton Field during World War II. Their story of discipline, bravery, and determination remains one of Alabama’s most enduring contributions to American history.
– The ornament also nods to Dothan, proudly known as the Peanut Capital of the World. Alabama produces a large share of the nation’s peanuts, and Dothan celebrates this legacy with farms, festivals, and even peanut-themed sculptures scattered throughout the city.
– A delicate flower on the ornament represents the Camellia, Alabama’s official state flower. Known for its glossy leaves and soft, layered petals, the camellia has become a symbol of Southern charm and is widely grown in home gardens and public parks.
– The design also features Little River Falls, one of Alabama’s most striking natural attractions. While Alabama is home to many waterfalls scattered throughout its forests and mountains, Little River Falls stands out for its dramatic flow and location within the unique Little River Canyon.
