Florence is the largest of the four Shoals cities on the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama, alongside Muscle Shoals, Sheffield and Tuscumbia. The area is world famous for music: at FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, artists from Aretha Franklin to the Rolling Stones recorded hits in the 1960s and 1970s, and W.C. Handy, the Father of the Blues, was born in Florence. The economy includes manufacturing, healthcare, TVA operations around Wilson Dam and the University of North Alabama, known for keeping live lions on campus.

The Shoals are about two hours from Nashville and Birmingham and a little more than an hour from Huntsville, with limited airline service. Flying private into Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in Muscle Shoals puts you a few minutes from the studios and downtown Florence, which makes a recording session, a plant visit or a family weekend simple to arrange. Visitors also come for Ivy Green, Helen Keller’s birthplace in Tuscumbia, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Rosenbaum House and fishing and boating on the Tennessee River and its lakes.
