Cook Museum of Natural Science
Located in downtown Decatur, Alabama, this year’s Rural Renaissance Roadshow will be held at the Cook Museum of Natural Science. With a motto that “life is amazing,” the Cook Museum was founded by John Cook, Sr. who, in 1968, first shared his professional insect collection with the public. Today, the museum is a state-of-the-art institution with an abundance of immersive experiences that teach people to understand and love our amazing world. Just a few steps away you’ll find great places to shop, eat, and enjoy the local beauty.
