What visitors say
It was awesome. We didn't realize it was a guided tour and the guide was on her way out but showed us around anyways. She knows so much about Scottsboros history and it's FREE....
Shannon was very knowledgeable and kind. I showed up when the first opened, and she gave me a tour without any issues. Being from out of town, I was looking for some sight seeing places, and I absolutely recommend this place for anyone…
Wonderful place they were a big help in my ancestry. Well organized helpful
