Located in Tuscumbia , a rural town in North west Alabama is the scenic Ivy Green, her house , built in 1820 by her grandparents.It is registered in the National Register of historic places of US. Surrounded by plenty of english boxwoods , English Ivy , it displays a serene look.
Helen herself writes in her book, story of my life that her classroom was the natural surroundings, that she read and studied outdoors, preferring the sunlit woods.
The homestead that her father built was completely covered with vines and climbing yellow roses .
It was called "Ivy Green" because the house and the surrounding trees and fences were covered with beautiful English ivy.She writes its old-fashioned garden was the paradise of my childhood
This was the place where she learnt her early lessons from miss sullivan
