|Alexander City |C |POI |Horseshoe Bend National |11288 Horseshoe Bend Rd (Alabama 49). 18 miles east of Alexander | |
| | | |Military Park |City on Alabama 49. On the morning of 27 March, 1814 General Andrew| |
| | | | |Jackson and an army of 3,300 men consisting of Tennessee militia, | |
| | | | |United States regulars and both Cherokee and Lower Creek allies | |
| | | | |attacked Chief Manawa and 1,000 Upper Creek or Red Stick warriors | |
| | | | |fortified in the "horseshoe" bend of the Tallapoosa River. To seal | |
| | | | |off the bend of the river, the Upper Creeks built an incredibly | |
| | | | |strong 400 yard long barricade made of dirt and logs. As the | |
| | | | |Cherokee and Lower Creek warriors swam the Tallapoosa and attacked | |
| | | | |from the rear, Jackson launched the militia and regular soldiers | |
| | | | |against the barricade. Facing overwhelming odds, the Red Sticks | |
| | | | |fought bravely yet ultimately lost the battle. Over 800 Upper | |
| | | | |Creeks died at Horseshoe Bend defending their homeland. This was | |
| | | | |the final battle of the Creek War of 1813-14, which is considered | |
| | | | |part of the War of 1812. In a peace treaty signed at Ft. Jackson | |
| | | | |(near Wetumpka) after the battle, both the Upper and Lower Creeks | |
| | | | |were forced to give the United States nearly 20 million acres of | |
| | | | |land in what is today Alabama and Georgia. The victory here brought| |
| | | | |Andrew Jackson national attention and helped him to be elected the | |
| | | | |seventh President of the United States in 1828. This 2,040-acre | |
| | | | |park preserves the site of the battle. The land ceded by the Creek | |
| | | | |Indian nation made up three fifths of the land that was to become | |
| | | | |Alabama. The visitor center has an excellent 20 minute video and | |
| | | | |exhibits on the battle & Creek Indian culture. The Horseshoe Bend | |
| | | | |National Military Park is a must see. | |

|Birmingham |C |100 |Pete's Famous Hot Dogs |1925 2nd Ave. North. “All the way" dog. “Birmingham legend, Gus | |
| | | |(1915) |Koutroulakis, has been slinging hot dogs from the same tiny stand | |
| | | | |in downtown Birmingham, Pete’s Famous, since 1948. According to | |
| | | | |Gus, his Uncle Pete and a buddy bought the place in 1939 with money| |
| | | | |they won in a Pinochle game. Pete renamed the place after his | |
| | | | |self-proclaimed famous dogs when he bought out his business partner| |
| | | | |in 1946. That same year, Pete installed the colorful neon sign that| |
| | | | |still lights up 2nd Avenue. And Gus still makes his dogs the same | |
| | | | |way his uncle did: “all the way” with mustard, kraut, and special | |
| | | | |sauce. Or, you can order a “special,” with a beef topping that’s—be| |
| | | | |careful—not chili. The classic sauce is unique to Birmingham and | |
| | | | |certainly a Greek addition to classic take-away fare. A visit to | |
| | | | |Pete’s Famous is quite an experience, so when you visit, spend some| |
| | | | |time taking in Gus’s hot dog wisdom and learning interesting | |
| | | | |tidbits from loyal customers, while downing a few of what are | |
| | | | |arguably the most famous dogs in Birmingham. The record, by the | |
| | | | |way, is eighteen hot dogs eaten in one visit.” | |

|Birmingham |C |POI |Rickwood Field |1137 2nd Ave W. | |
| | | | |Built in 1910 by Birmingham industrialist Rick Woodward for the | |
| | | | |Birmingham Coal Barons. Rickwood Field was modeled after | |
| | | | |Pittsburgh’s Forbes Field and Connie Mack designed the field | |
| | | | |dimensions. Opening Day was on August 18, 1910 at 3:30 p.m. The | |
| | | | |Barons defeated the Montgomery Climbers 3-2 before more than 10,000| |
| | | | |fans. The Barons played at Rickwood Field until 1987, when they | |
| | | | |moved into the suburban Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. The famous | |
| | | | |Black Barons of the Negro Leagues also called Rickwood home during | |
| | | | |their existence. The legendary Willie Mays, who grew up minutes | |
| | | | |away, was a 16-year old center-fielder on the 1948 championship | |
| | | | |squad. The Black Barons played their home games at Rickwood when | |

| | | | |moved to its present site in 1914, and patrons were introduced to a| |
| | | | |new dining atmosphere. Ceiling fans, tile floors, mirrored and | |
| | | | |marbled walls - most of which exist today - reflect the style of | |
| | | | |that era. Murals painted by an itinerant European artist are | |
| | | | |another interesting feature of the past. Major alterations and | |
| | | | |renovations of the premises and kitchen were completed in 1966, and| |

| | | | |Civil War, although a number of the "old" furnaces that is, built | |
| | | | |before 1871 were built in direct response to the needs of the | |
| | | | |Confederacy. McElwain built his furnace along the banks of Shades | |
| | | | |Creek in Jefferson County in 1863. Iron made in this blast furnace| |
| | | | |was carried by ox-cart to a rail head at Montevallo, and then by | |
| | | | |rail to the arsenal at Selma, Alabama. Note that even today the | |
| | | | |nearby road is called (the) Montevallo Road. According to The | |
| | | | |Birmingham District, this operation included a gravity tramway from| |
| | | | |the iron mine located three miles away. McElwain experimented with| |

| | | | |the road adjacent to the railroad track Cord: N33 59.178 W 86 | |
| | | | |45.201. Cross the Railroad track and you will see a path to the | |
| | | | |Cave. Turn right and hike ¼ mile to the cave entrance. | |
| | | | |For a short but exciting time in the late 1930s, Bangor Cave was | |
| | | | |one of America's most exotic nightspots. A special spur to the | |
| | | | |cave, built by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, brought | |
| | | | |thousands of elegantly dressed southerners to the cave's bungalow | |
| | | | |entrance. There, they waited outside for the chance to enter an | |
| | | | |underground Shangri-La. A lucky few, usually with bulging wallets, | |
| | | | |were allowed into the private casino hidden behind a heavily bolted| |
| | | | |door. | |
| | | | |Today there are only a few physical reminders of the cave's glory | |
| | | | |days: the outline of a fieldstone bar where a jar of | |
| | | | |thousand-dollar bills once sat on display, the concave area that | |
| | | | |served as an orchestra pit for swing bands and vocalists. But on | |
| | | | |the spot where diners once enjoyed $1.10 price-fixed meals and | |
| | | | |dancers swayed on tile-covered floors under a cathedral ceiling | |
| | | | |painted to resemble a night sky, only copperheads, spiders, and | |
| | | | |other creatures take advantage of the once-magnificent room. A | |
| | | | |sense of eeriness permeates the cavern’s damp walls-a sense of | |
| | | | |stories never to be told, mysteries never to be solved. The cave | |
| | | | |continues through the mountain, so if you want an adventure, pack a| |

| | | | |spent a little over five weeks in the capital of the Coosa Indians,| |
| | | | |just a few miles west of the DeSoto Caverns. Their mission was to | |
| | | | |find gold and to establish the first Spanish colony in the New | |
| | | | |World. DeSoto left, disappointed, as he found no gold in the | |
| | | | |surrounding territory and thus did not claim any land for Spain, | |
| | | | |but instead took slaves from among the Coosa people. | |

| | | | |At the Winston County Court House, a statue of a Civil War soldier | |

| | | | |not fought between the north and the south but between the Union | |
| | | | |and the Confederate armies. Perhaps as many as 300,000 Southerners| |
| | | | |served in the Union Army. The majority of the Appalachian south | |
| | | | |from West Virginia to Winston County was pro-union. Winston | |
| | | | |provided 239 confederate soldiers, 21 of whom shared last names. | |
| | | | |This Civil War soldier, 1/2 union and 1/2 confederate, symbolizes | |
| | | | |the war within a war and honors the Winstonians in both armies. | |
| | | | |Their shiny new swords of 1861 were by 1865 as broken as the | |
| | | | |spirits of the men who bore them; and their uniforms of blue and | |
| | | | |gray once fresh and clean, were now as worn and patched as the | |
| | | | |bodies and souls they contained. Johnny Reb and Billy Yank | |

| | | | |adjacent to beautiful Lewis Smith Lake, which offers a 500-mile | |
| | | | |shoreline. Lewis Smith Dam which forms Smith Lake impounds the | |
| | | | |Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior River. The amazing quality of the | |
| | | | |water in this lake is due to its location downstream of the | |
| | | | |Bankhead National Forest which filters water flowing into Smith | |
| | | | |Lake. The lake impounds 21,000 acres. The dam releases clear, cold | |
| | | | |water from the bottom of the lake. Because of these cold | |
| | | | |temperatures, the Sipsey Fork downstream of the dam can support | |

| | | | |A tour of the Gateway Restaurant is an historical journey that | |
| | | | |displays the countless treasures of Marion and Perry County. The | |
| | | | |yard which is illuminated by one of the original street light from | |
| | | | |old downtown Marion houses the restaurant’s front porch which is a | |
| | | | |creation of hand-made bricks salvaged from an aged Marion water | |
| | | | |tank. The braces that decorate the Gateway's front overhang were | |
| | | | |once part of the exterior of the Uniontown train station, while an | |
| | | | |arbor, once used to frame the cover of Judson's original indoor | |
| | | | |pool, has confederate jasmine climbing it's timbers. Inside the | |
| | | | |Gateway, architectural pieces from the Harwood-White house lead to | |
| | | | |the restaurant’s main dining room and bar area. The pocket doors | |
| | | | |separating these two rooms are also from this house as well as all | |
| | | | |the interior doors through the Gateway. Adding to the restaurant's | |
| | | | |historical puzzle is the former Judson college music hall from | |
| | | | |which the beaded board ceiling and the large timbers supporting the| |
| | | | |roof structure in the lobby were taken. Petitions between the | |
| | | | |booths in the main dining room were built from interior doors that | |
| | | | |were saved from a renovation at Judson. A glassed area, adjacent to| |
| | | | |the bar, was created from the windows of a Marion Military | |
| | | | |Institute dorm that was remodeled, This, one of the most popular | |
| | | | |areas for dining, overlooks the MMI golf course. A study of several| |
| | | | |of the restaurant's floors reveals designs crafted from brick and | |
| | | | |stepping stones of an older Marion. Mirrors over the bar are | |
| | | | |surrounded by an antiquated post office pediment and green Italian | |
| | | | |tile from the Harwood-White house. The Gateway is a conglomeration | |
| | | | |of both history and memories which is the key to its continued | |
| | | | |success. Located at 1613 Highway 5 S in Marion. Ph. 334-683-6831 | |

|Marion |SW |POI |Marion Military |1101 Washington Street | |
| | | |Institute |Marion a school and college for young men, traces its origin back | |
| | | | |to 1842. During the Civil War, the Chapel and Lovelace Hall were | |
| | | | |used as Breckenridge Military Hospital, treating Confederate | |
| | | | |soldiers. These facilities still serve the college well. MMI | |
| | | | |operated as Howard College until 1887. The church then decided to | |
| | | | |move Howard College (which later became known as Samford | |
| | | | |University) to Birmingham, Alabama. Judson College, the Baptist | |
| | | | |women’s college, remained in Marion. At the time of the move, the | |
| | | | |President of Howard College, Colonel James T. Murfee, along with | |
| | | | |some of the faculty and supported by several trustees, chose to | |
| | | | |remain on the old campus. Their intention was to operate a | |
| | | | |military school for young men. In 1887, they established Marion | |
| | | | |Military Institute, and a charter was granted in 1889 by the state | |
| | | | |of Alabama, allowing MMI to be exempt from taxation, to have | |
| | | | |authority to receive donations, to give diplomas, and to confer | |
| | | | |degrees. The school was a non-profit institution, controlled | |
| | | | |neither by church nor state. Instead, a self-perpetuating board of| |

|Paint Rock Valley |NE |POI |"The Walls of Jericho" |Located just north of Hytop on Highway 79. "The Walls of Jericho" | |
| | | | |is probably one of the most beautiful sites in Alabama. If you're | |
| | | | |up for a challenge, you should give it a try. "It is a long hike | |
| | | | |but if you are in decent condition and take it slow you can make | |
| | | | |it. Total distance is about 7 miles round trip. But it ain't on | |
| | | | |mall walk. It would be like starting on top of Monte Sano and | |
| | | | |hiking to the bottom. Then hike 3 or 4 miles on relatively flat-but| |
| | | | |rocky-trails. And finally, hike back up to the top of Monte Sano. | |
| | | | |You should allow 5-6 hours for the hike, wear hiking shoes, and | |
| | | | |bring 2 or 3 liters of water per person, and some snacks for fuel. | |
| | | | |"Walls of Jericho" was named for a bowl-shaped canyon of rock that | |
| | | | |shoots water out of holes and cracks in the rock wall during heavy | |
| | | | |rains." It is part of a 60,000-acre tract once owned by Texas oil | |
| | | | |baron Henry Lee Carter. When he died in 1977, the Walls of Jericho | |
| | | | |were sold and closed to visitors. The Walls of Jericho is now made | |
| | | | |up of 21,453 acres straddling the Tennessee-Alabama border. 4 or 2 | |

| | | | |Today, the purpose of the reconstruction of Fort Mitchell, a | |

| | | |Mon - Sat. 10-5 |that took place in this area during the time of the Federal Road, | |
| | | |Sunday 1-5. |the Creek Indian War, and the pioneer settlement of this area. As | |
| | | | |Alabama became a state in1819, the terms of the Battle of Horseshoe| |
| | | | |Bend were being carried out. The Federal Government had set up a | |
| | | | |Trading Factory at Fort Mitchell (1817-1820) to provide the Indians| |
| | | | |with necessary supplies such as clothing and food items. The | |
| | | | |factory was not successful and the Government set up an Indian | |
| | | | |Agency at Fort Mitchell, which remained there from 1825-1836, when | |
| | | | |the Indians were moved to the West. A Memorial can be seen just | |
| | | | |north of the forts Visitors Center, at the Indian Heritage Center, | |
| | | | |which has the names of each of the Indians who were moved to the | |
| | | | |West printed in the panels of the memorial. At the visitor’s center| |
| | | | |upon your entrance to Fort Mitchell, you will need to check in. The| |
| | | | |Visitors Center houses the Museum, theatre, and a walk through | |
| | | | |time, where you will see displays depicting historical scenes and | |

| | | | |On your next visit to NW Alabama, you need to go to the Dismals | |
| | | | |Canyon. Early settlers gave it the name as it was so forbidden to | |
| | | | |them. Basically it’s a very rugged box canyon. Robbers of the | |
| | | | |Natchez Trace travelers hid there as well as Aaron Burr before he | |
| | | | |was captured near Mobile. Also some of the Indians (I forget which | |
| | | | |tribe, I think Choctaw) were held there in their “relocation” to | |
| | | | |Okalahoma in the infamous Trail of Tears. It is one amazing area. | |
| | | | |In fact the History Channel filmed part of “When Dinosaurs Roamed” | |
| | | | |in the canyon due to its primordial nature. Northern hemlock trees | |
| | | | |grow there as the temperature stays so much cooler that as the Ice | |
| | | | |Age receded the trees continued to flourish in the canyon. | |

| | | | |With its motto of " just good ol' country cookin', it certainly is | |
| | | | |that and more. Situated on U.S. Hwy 231 south of Montgomery in | |
| | | | |Pine Level, it is one of those places that touring motorcyclists | |
| | | | |love to find. It is an old looking building covered in signs from | |
| | | | |gas stations and country stores. From the moment we walked in, | |
| | | | |dressed in riding clothes, we were treated like welcomed guests by | |
| | | | |everyone inside especially the owner, Mr. Robert Missildine. The | |
| | | | |food was served cafeteria style. The meatloaf was "the best I ever| |
| | | | |had" and the home cooked vegetables were excellent as was the | |
| | | | |cornbread. Mr. Missildine came over to our table to ask us if | |
| | | | |everything was O.K. and could he get us anything else. Even though| |
| | | | |we thought we couldn't possibly want anything else he brought us | |
| | | | |some chicken fingers with a "killer" sauce. Saying," ya'll try | |

| | | | |at Holy Ground quickly became a target for attack. | |
| | | | |One of three U.S. armies converging on the Creek Nation left Fort | |
| | | | |Claiborne (today's Claiborne, Alabama) in December of 1813 and | |
| | | | |began a cross-country march to Holy | |
| | | | |Ground. Led by Gen. Ferdinand L. Claiborne, | |
| | | | |the troops emerged from the forests and attacked Holy Ground on | |
| | | | |December 23, 1813. | |
| | | | |Following their dramatic and bloody victory at Fort Mims, the Red | |
| | | | |Sticks were too confident in their abilities to deal with the | |
| | | | |soldiers and | |
| | | | |resistance quickly disintegrated as the tide of the Battle of Holy | |
| | | | |Ground began to turn | |
| | | | |against them. A detachment of warriors fought from behind fallen | |
| | | | |trees and logs to hold back Claiborne’s men while Francis and the | |
| | | | |other leaders evacuated their non-combatants to safety | |
| | | | |across the Alabama River. | |
| | | | |In one of the memorable events of the day, the famed Creek warrior | |
| | | | |William Weatherford | |
| | | | |dashed to and fro on horseback, looking for an avenue of escape. | |
| | | | |According to Alabama legend, finding himself trapped by soldiers, | |
| | | | |he suddenly spurred his horse to a run and rode it off the top of | |
| | | | |the bluff in a sailing leap into the river below | |
|Whitehouse |NW |CHU |Whitehouse Church of |15011 Highway 278. In the early 1900’s when the congregation | |
| | | |Christ |painted the church white, it became known as the “White House” | |
| | | | |since it was the only white building in town. | |
