Monroe County History Tour – July 20, 2011

Admission: free, SARIC Credit given for teachers--public welcome.

Learn more about Monroe County historic places. This workshop includes a bus tour of historic sites in Monroe County- a county that’s older than the state of Alabama. Attendees will learn about historical events and sites that focus on early Alabama history, including the Indian Territory era, pioneer settlement, the significance of the Federal Road, mill towns, and steamboat traffic on the Alabama River. The workshop will give teachers and history enthusiasts a chance to tour sites that are not accessible to the public. Teachers are given first priority, but the general public is also invited. 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Meet at the Old Courthouse at 7:30 a.m. Bring a sack lunch.
