Centrally located south of Birmingham, Hoover has grown by leaps and bounds since it was established in the late 1950’s. Today the greater Shelby County area surrounding the city offers visitors a wonderful selection of activities and attractions, starting with no less than ten beautiful golf courses where you can hone your skills.

You can take a walk through the Aldridge Botanical Gardens, go hiking or rock climbing in Moss Rock Preserve or enjoy a day of shopping at the Riverchase Galleria. Some of the most popular near-by family attractions include the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum and the Aldrich Coal Mine Museum.
