Pea River from Williams Boat Landing
Kinston, Alabama
*the Pea River gets its name from its pea green color. Indeed, the Muscogee name for the Pea River is Talakhatchee, which means “Pea Green Stream”.
Buck Creek Cotton Mill
Alabaster, Alabama
*the cotton mill opened in 1896. The operating facility and the factory site were sold in 1968, and the mill closed its doors in May 1979. The Alabaster Senior Center was built in 2010 where portions of the cotton mill foundation once stood. Supposedly there were blood spots on the floors in some rooms and various cold spots. Also strange noises have been heard. There has also been mention of a ‘phantom’ in the nearby woods, who follows home hikers (although no harm ever comes to them). Anyone wanna go check it out???
going inside today…
Dinosaur Exhibit at the McWayne Science Center
Birmingham, Alabama
*did you know that Alabama is the best place east of the Mississippi River to find the remains of dinosaurs? (I did NOT!!!) The Alabama Dinosaurs exhibit which can be found in McWane Science Center displays actual dinosaur fossils discovered around the state. Alabama Dinosaurs features rare finds from the Alabama tyrannosaur to the dangerous dromaeosaurs or “raptors.”
