Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen Keller, was originally built back in the year 1820, just one year later from Alabama becoming the 22nd states. It is a white clapboard, simple home design constructed in the typical architecture of the southern United States. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1954 as a shrine to the “miracle” that happened in the life of the deaf and blind Helen Keller.

Visitors can explore the grounds of a historical treasure of America, one that has survived untouched throughout the Civil War and is maintained in its original state.
