    Veterans Memorial Bridge - Veterans Memorial Bridge Historical Marker, Brundidge

    Veterans Memorial Bridge

    (1 review)

    This marker stands next to the original bridge which has since been superseded by a modern bridge…read more It's nice that the old bridge still stands, though there is no longer traffic on it. The marker reads, "This reinforced concrete river bridge, thought to be the first in Alabama. Was erected over Pea River in 1920-21 at a cost of $92,108.97. It was dedicated on August 3, 1921 as a memorial to the 57 men from Dale County who lost their lives in World War 1. Engineers were Mitcham, Keller, Smith and Land. County officials were Windham, Sessions, Roberts, Ziglar, Mullins and Archer. In 1977, through the efforts of the Dale County Historical Society, The Veterans Memorial Bridge was placed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage by The Alabama Historical Commission" On the reverse, "Grist Mill - Indian Battle - Recreation. This land was purchased in 1832 by Henry Black who erected the first grist mill. In 1837 Creek Indians who escaped from the Battle Of Hobdy's Bridge, were routed here by Dale Militia. Subsequent mill owners were Hough, Frazier, Munn, Fleming and Beck. A post office called Scroggins Mill was established in 1844 with Edmund Black Postmaster; re-established as "River Mills" in 1877 with Daniel Munn, Postmaster. The mill was used to operate wool carding machines during the War Between The States. This site was popular as an area recreation center from 1875 to 1950." There is a spot nearby to stop and you can walk the bridge. [Review 19874 overall - 221 in Alabama - 847 of 2023.]

    Boll Weevil Monument

    Boll Weevil Monument

    (8 reviews)

    OBVIOUSLY the previous reviews of this monument have been by those who do not understand the…read morehistorical significance of the monument and lack the intellectual capacity for such. I am reminded that I should not argue with them...as my father used to tell me, "Son, never argue with an idiot; he'll drag you down to his level and defeat you with experience." Therefore...I suggest you ignore those reviews that do nothing but belittle the experience. First - the boll weevil made its way into Texas in the early 1900's. By the 1920's it had already invaded ALL of the cotton growing areas in the USA - all the way up to Virginia. It totally devestated the crops in southern Alabama between 1914 and 1917. By 1919, when the monument was erected, Coffee Country (Enterprise) was heavy into peanuts. Ignorant historians (and revisionist historians) will try to make you think that the Boll Weevil Monument was erected because the people of Enterprise would not erect a statute to George Washington Carver because he has an African-American. Again - this is a revisionist historian point of view. I doubt the people of Enterprise were very interested in what was happening in Tuskegee while they were starving. And I SERIOUSLY doubt Carver showed up with peanuts in hand showing the people of Enterprise how to plant them... This historical inspiration of the Boll Weevil has been mentioned in many publications over the years. John Maxwell has written about this monument--as well as many other inspirational speakers and writers. Bottom line - if you DO NOT understand the historical significance of this monument, too bad. One day, maybe you will grow a brain and it will dawn on you! =)

    Ok - the five stars is for the cute historic district and the homage to the boll weevil in this…read moregreat area of Enterprise. We had a lot of fun with this! This is the centennial of the boll weevil celebration and should not be missed!
