Driving through the small town of Athens, Alabama, I found this plaque. Being a history buff, I…read morepulled over to check it out. The plaque recounted the story of the plundering of the town by Union troops back in 1862. We need to remember history. These little plaques located on roadsides speak of our past, a past that should never be forgotten.

I have now visited 3 places in Paint Rock: The Painted Rock, the Paint Rock Bird Trail (#40 on the…read moreNorth AL Birding Trail), and the Railroad Trading Post and have enjoyed all three. I'm going to show my ignorance of the area here, but I don't think the painted rock I saw (labeled as such) was the actual painted rock that the town was named after. Just a guess given the picture I took. Also, there is a bizarre gazebo surrounded by a fence behind it where a random dog lives. The bird trail and the trading post are awesome and are highly recommended if you like birding and junking.

Built in 1903, the building was a store and later a theatre. Now it is called Sykes Place, a 4,000…read moresquare foot space rented out for meetings, parties. But back in Aug. 27th, 1937, a tragic tale unfolded, one that has haunted the buildings occupants til this day. Eight year-old Constance Couch was playing with some friends upstairs and crawled out a window to where the skylight was. She was leaning into it, trying to see the customers downstairs when it gave way, sending her hurtling downward into the store in a rain of glass. Her head hit the edge of a coke box and she lie motionless. She was rushed to the hospital with a fractured head and her last words spoken were "The light is hurting my eyes". She died that night. Years later, when the building housed Robert Parham's museum, an antique store and a theatre, many people would hear children's footsteps running on the stairs. Robert would find his books moved or placed across the room. Some have seen the little girl and have even spoken to her. If she is still there, I'm sure she would like to play with you. She;s probably very lonely.

Hidden in a little street alley off Bank Street is the oldest surviving cemetery in Decatur, going…read moreback to at least 1818. I have learned it is called the Rhodes Family Cemetery, after Dr. Henry Rhodes, one of the original founders of Decatur. In fact, Decatur was called Rhodes Ferry for many years until the name was changed to reflect the heroics of Stephen Decatur during the Barbary Coast War. There a lot of broken gravestones, most are illegible and contain by some records 19-20 people connected to the Rhodes family, The graves contain a high percentage of children and adolescents who died around 1818-1820. There are Rhodes, Sykes, Scruggs and Banks buried here. There's speculation that the cemetery was much larger at some point but other buildings now cover the burial places. It was heavily damaged during the Battle of Decatur as well. Besides a wrought iron gate and a sign, there's little to see.
