The Alabama museum- Fort Payne Alabama

Stopped in here today, since we had bypassed it on our last visit to the city when Cooper and I were on our baseball trip-  This is a fairly well done museum, got a pin, and as a bonus, got to see the new tour bus, which was loading up with merchandise and then headed out,.  I thought the band had retired, but the lady said they are still touring every once in a while, and they just put out a recording with Brad Paisley -  

 This is the museum itself, the left side is a big gift store, the right side is a museum.
 The bus a nice Van Hool conversion.  There are 4 guys in the van, I'm guessing they travel together, I imagine there may be bunks in it, but I didn't get to look inside.
 The back of the bus had the new style Alabama logo. 

This I guess to be their old silver eagle-  There was another one of these at a museum in Sevierville or DollyWood or whatever Tennessee, don't know if it was this one or not.  Things are looking up for the boys!
