When I first started working at Alabama Heritage in 2012, I was told our team would take office “field trips” throughout the year. Once a quarter was the main goal, and sometimes it would only be twice a year, but the point was to get the Alabama Heritage team out of the office—away from computers, the mail, and phones—and actually visit the places written about within the pages of our print magazine. We have taken several trips just on our own, exploring places within a two-hour radius of our home offices in Tuscaloosa. Some trips have included folks from around the state who offered to be our tour guides. No matter where we end up, our day trip is usually chocked full of fascinating stories, interesting artifacts, lots of laughter, and great food.
