This is not the legendary star that fell on Alabama, but apparently a long time ago, a meteor hit near Wetumpka. Auburn geologists studied it and fairly recently determined that it is an impact crater, but not before people built things on it. So if the sign wasn't there, it would be almost impossible to tell that there was a crater. Meteor Crater in Arizona is better, but at least Wetumpka is a one-day trip.
For some reason, I thought Fort Toulouse was in Louisiana...it's not. It IS a very exciting place, though.
