The Rattlesnake Saloon — part rock shelter, part entertainment hotspot

<p>Rock shelters form naturally when erosion carves away at a cliff or bluff, ripping older, softer stone away from the stronger, newer strata. Prehistoric people used them as shelters and archaeologists routinely find tools, artifacts, and more. Pretty cool.</p> <p>Modern Alabamans have turned one such shelter into an old-timey saloon full of character, good food, and better views.</p> <p>The Rattlesnake Saloon (so named after a nest of snakes discovered during construction) was once a pigpen. In the 1920s, the original owner kept pigs under the shelter and cleverly drilled a hole through the rock to feed the hogs. The hole is now used to run cables and wiring through the woods and into the saloon.</p> <p><a href="https://sczarn.medium.com/rattlesnake-saloon-tuscumbia-alabama-780b2a7830ab"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
