Landmark Park is a popular attraction in Dothan, Alabama that offers a variety of recreational activities and fun things to do and see.

Old-Time Shops

Landmark Park hosts a number of events designed to help visitors feel like they’ve taken a step back in time. Even if you can’t make it to one of these events, you can travel to the past by shopping at one of their old-time stores located around the park. Shelley General Store has old-fashioned games and wooden toys available for sale, along with refreshing beverages and old-time treats. At Martin Drugstore, you can order ice cream, a malt, or a shake from the operational soda fountain or shop for old tonics and health remedies.

Digitarium Planetarium

At Digitarium Planetarium, learn more about the solar system through educational programs and exhibits. It’s best for children ages 6 and older, although the planetarium does show movies in the dome that are fun for younger kids. Exhibits include information about astronomy over the past 3,000 years, the earth, moon, and sun, and one of the first telescopes.

State Agricultural Museum

The official state agricultural museum is within the park as well, helping visitors learn more about the history of agricultural importance in the area, as well as how it impacts Dothan and the state of Alabama today. The park also serves as the headquarters for the Alabama Agricultural Museum Board.

Make a plan to spend an afternoon with your loved ones at Landmark Park, which has something for everyone to enjoy.
