Question

One of the most famous residents of Tuscumbia was Helen Keller．Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880．Her home was a white frame cottage built by her grandparents．Since ivy （常春藤） grew everywhere, the house was called Ivy Green．It was here, at the water pump in the backyard, that Keller learned the word “w-a-t-e-r” with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan．Visitors to Ivy Green can walk under boxwood trees that are 150 years old．The home has furniture that the Keller family used．It also has Keller’s Braille （盲文） books and her original Braille typewriter．

Spring Park is Tuscumbia’s most popular park and favorite tourist attraction．This park has the world’s largest manufactured waterfall called Coldwater Falls．The Spring Park Light and Water Show is an amazing sight to see．It takes place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at sundown．The water appears to dance to music and colored lights．The music played during the show is recorded by singers and musicians from Alabama．

Fame Recording Studios is in the city of Muscle Shoals in Colbert County．The studio is the first successful recording studio in Alabama．It is best known for creating “Southern rock,” “Southern soul,” and “county soul．” Well-known performers like Aretha Franklin and musical groups such as Alabama and Lynyrd have made recordings at this studio．

Visitors can continue to explore music in Alabama by visiting the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia．Built in 1990, this site recognizes the musical talents of more than 500 Alabama residents in a wide variety of musical styles, including country and rhythm and blues．
