| With almost 4.6 million residents, the state of Alabama is ranked 23rd in the country for its sheer number of inhabitants, and second in the size of its inland waterways. It boasts white-sand beaches, one of the world's premier space centers and a history rife with conflict that is acknowledged and memorialized for its educational value. Enjoy the tranquil shores on the Gulf of Mexico and scavenge for antiques in quaint nearby towns known for local art. Take in history by viewing (and even touching, in some instances) NASA rockets or stand at the pulpit of the Martin Luther King, Jr. church. Whether you want to learn more about important moments in U.S. history or simply take in picturesque scenery, Alabama has something for everyone.
