Sequoyah Caves
description Just off Interstate 59 and U. S. 11, Hammondville, Alabama. This Visitor Center is so beautiful and unique, plus its walks and grounds of beautiful flowers, that it seems to say of itself: 'Welcome to Sequoyah Caves!' The natural stone masonry blends in with the Caves' entrances and the mountainside. The tepee motif reminds all of the era when Sequoyah lived in this area while writing the Cherokee alphabet; however, the tepee was used by the Western (Plain) Indians. Picnicking, camping and refreshments. Open all year - sunrise to sunset.
