Join us on April 13 at 2:30 pm for a presentation by Site Historian, John Gurner. The Confluence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers has seen all manner of human activity for millennia. Historical figures like Andrew Jackson and William Bartram have left their mark upon the narrow strip of land that was once home to several Native American groups. This brief overview will explain the importance of the site well beyond its regional significance and show how this hidden gem of the forest is still one of the most significant historical sites for understanding Alabama’s early colonial history.
