Fun Fact: Helen Keller was born June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She lost her sight and hearing at nineteen months old. With the help of Anne Sullivan, better known as the Miracle Worker, Helen grew up to become a famous speaker who helped to set up the American Foundation for the Blind. The first U.S. circulating coin to feature braille, the Alabama quarter features an image of Helen Keller with her name in English, as well as in a reduced-size version of braille. In 1954, Helen Keller’s birthplace “Ivy Green” was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Here you can see and touch the actual well-pump where Anne Sullivan reached into the dark, silent world of Helen’s mind and opened the window of communication.
