2022 April 30, Walking Tour Town Creek, AL

The Walking tour took place in Town Creek, and everyone was to meet at the Farmers Market on Main  Street.

I arrived early, so I took a look around and spoke with the vendors. I bought two tomato plants.

At 1:00 P.M., the van arrived, driven by Pastor Steve Agee, provided by Victory Baptist Church.

The former mayor of Town Creek (Linda Peebles) rode with us.

Everyone loaded into the van, and we headed to the public library. 

We were met by the librarian. She gave us some material, which included:

Welcome to Town Creek, which contains stories about Saunders Hall and Good Mansion 

The Town Creek Hotel, Town Creek City Hall, Veterans Memorial

The new Story Walk is a learning trail behind the library. It is designed to introduce visitors of all ages to the area's environment.

The librarian informed us about the Story Walk Trail and distributed pamphlets to all of us. 

Our next stop was the Town Creek Depot, where dignitaries made speeches. They were Mayor Mike Park, Prince Roberson (State Representative), Loretta Gillespie, and Robert Sheffield (Former Hazelwood coach). 

The Town Creek Train Depot was built in the early 1800s, and the first engine run took place on February 1, 1835.

Former NFL football players from Town Creek were also attending.  

Chris & Kerry Goode (brothers) and DJ Jones.

After a meet-and-greet session, we headed to our next stop, Posey Farms.

We were greeted by the Posey Family with refreshments.

Mr. Posey said it all began in 1953 when we leased 7 acres of land and planted our first cotton crop. 

Posey's first home is now surrounded by farmland.
