Monte Sano cabins undergo major renovations
Originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), these historic retreats now blend timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort, offering visitors the perfect mix of heritage and hospitality.

Funding for the upgrades at Monte Sano State Park came from the $85 million bond issue for parks approved by Alabama voters in 2022.
