the Texas Longhorn. Take a look around and then start your tour of the

beef cattle industry. |

Adam's Room |
|
Come and meet Adam Bainbridge, our one-of-a-kind official spokesman and
“guide” for The MOOseum. He will show you a film and tell you a story
about the cattle industry here in Alabama. Also, take a look around at
the different breeds of cattle and horses you will see on the walls and
the different items that are made from cows in the cases. |

|
The History Room |
|
Take a look around “Hoofprints Through Alabama” or what is better known
as our history room. It has a timeline that goes from 1494 (Columbus’s
second visit to the new world) to 1996 (when The MOOseum opened). There
are articles and artifacts that go along with the timeline to tell an
interesting story of how cattle became an “industry” in Alabama. |
