Info:

A few plot points from Selma native Kathryn Tucker Windham’s life: She started writing movie reviews for the local paper when she was twelve years old and grew up to be a popular columnist, reporter, and storyteller; she authored more than twenty books of Southern folklore, including the beloved 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey; and when she passed away in June 2011 at age ninety-three, she was buried in a custom pine casket she’d been storing in her backyard shed. Now the Kathryn Tucker Windham Museum honors its namesake’s rich legacy with We Shall Gather at the River: Storytelling, a series of come-all gatherings of tale-tellers and fans held in five Alabama counties. The kickoff event takes place January 26 at Bobby’s Fish Camp in Silas—a spot that has probably sparked a few tall tales in its own right. alabama.travel/events
