Park your car and geab your walking stick or umbrella and witness these southern charmers lined up on Church Street.
My wife and I wandered up and down Church street and were fascinated with the homes, live oak trees and the overall ambiance of the area. If you have the time, visit the graveyard and look at the old Headstones - a real sense of time passing
While in Mobile we went to the church street area. We decided to first drive around to see where we wanted to start our walk. During the drive we went past the Spanish plaza that looked nice with the fountain and white arches. But as we drove around there were a lot of hotels and not many old homes. So I guess there must be a certain area around church street that has these beautiful old homes that everyone is talking about.
This is one of six historic districts in the city and worth a walk through to enjoy the homes and the amazing Oak Trees!
It's not a very long stretch but there are some very charming houses and a big fountain. Park your car at the museum or fort and walk it, It's a nice walk, but be careful of the tree roots. They have broken some of the concrete, so side walk is a little rough in some areas.
Just park the car and walk till your legs hurt or you fill up your sd card with pictures! If you like older architecture, you will love this place!
Beautiful historic buildings, restaurants...go to The Peanut Shop and get some snacks. Get peanuts and go to park across street. Squirrels and friendly and will eat from your hand.
We did our own driving tour of the historic downtown area and loved the beautifully preserved and maintained homes along Government Street and all the side streets. Just lovely,refined southern living!
Mobile has done a wonderful job preserving the historic areas of this city. It was a very rainy day over Christmas weekend when we were here, so enjoyed driving through this historic area. Hopefully next time, we'll be able to stroll the area and enjoy this wonderful southern historic district.
Had such a great time driving around!!! It was amazing, it was like walking in to a movie set back in time. My wife and I are from FL and it made us want to move there. So nice lots of fun.
