Welcome To Alabama
The highway Visitor Center in Alabama is a delightful place designed to make the visitor feel welcome and designed to celebrate the history of Alabama. The grounds are landscaped with flowering plants and trees. There are even historical markers, like the one that tells us that this was the site of a Cherokee town, named for the the half-breed chief, Red-headed Will. It was the home of Sequoyah, inventer of the Cherokee alphabet. Alexander Campbell, a British agent lived there during the Revolutionary War. In 1837, Fort Payne was built for detaining the Cherokees, which is as close as the plaque gets to mentioning the stealing of Cherokee land and their exile on the Trail of Tears.
Day 3, trip from Massachusetts to Texas.
