The Cullman County Museum is housed in a replica of Col. Johann G. Cullmann's home. Packed with interesting artifacts spanning two centuries, the campus of the Museum offers items of interest too. From the deck of our sprawling front porch you will see a towering statue of our founding father, the town gazebo, historic plaques from former city buildings, a restored depot and one of our many city parks.
