Focus on this artwork and discuss the Visitor center and gift shop.
Located off of Exit 112 for Veterans Memorial Parkway on I-45 North is a white building that resembles the Steamboat House that Sam Houston lived and died in. While this building is not the actual home, it does contain a small visitor center on one side of the breezeway, and a gift shop on the other. Within the visitor center are many boards that contain information about Sam Houston, the artist of the statue, David Adickes, and some facts about Huntsville itself. The gift shop contains many small souvenirs like keychains, magnets, stickers, and t-shirts.
