Jeffrey's Adventure to Historic Water Avenue

Jeffrey apologizes for not letting anyone take his picture this weekend.  He ran in the Integrity Worldwide 5K Run on Saturday morning and he was completely exhausted (he's not much of a runner).  We saw him at Riverfront Market Day, but he refused to let us take his picture because he was in so much pain.  Jeffrey has finally recovered, however, and said we would take a picture of him on Historic Water Avenue where Riverfront Market Day is held every year.  He truly loves going to Market Day because Water Avenue is filled with vendors in the street on the sidewalks!

Jeffrey's Adventure to the Old Depot Museum

The second place Jeffrey went today was the Old Depot Museum, where he learned that the museum was once known as the L&N Railroad Station.  The Old Depot Museum currently houses collections of historic treasures from prehistoric Indians that lived in the area, before and after the Civil War, and from the early days of the Civil Rights Movement.  It displays the various cultures that have contributed to the development of this part of the Black Belt region.

They even have original art by Clara Weaver Parrish and her medal in the main lobby, plus the original emergency room log from the Good Samaritan Hospital on Bloody Sunday!

There is so much history and so much to learn in the Old Depot Museum, so you will have to see it for yourself!  For more information on the Old Depot Museum or to schedule a tour, call 334-874-2197.
