Did you know Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama? 🌿

Her childhood home, Ivy Green, still stands today as a museum honoring her incredible legacy. You might notice that Ivy Green has chaged a little over the years from this photo taken in 1934. But the miracles that happened here are the same!

From a small Southern town to inspiring the world…what a journey! ✨

Did you know Alexander Graham Bell and Helen Keller went on to be lifelong friends!?

They made history, and also found friendship—in each other.
