Ivy Green, Historical residence in Tuscumbia, United States
The white wooden house features traditional architectural elements with a symmetrical facade, double-story columns, and multiple windows across both levels.
Built in 1820, Ivy Green gained national recognition as the birthplace and childhood home of Helen Keller, who learned to communicate despite being deaf and blind.
The property contains original furniture, personal items, and educational materials that document Helen Keller's journey from isolation to becoming a renowned author and activist.
The museum offers guided tours throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore Helen Keller's bedroom, study room, and the water pump where she first understood language.
The garden maintains the original water pump where Anne Sullivan taught Helen Keller her first word, marking a pivotal moment in education history.
