Yes, it was cold on Saturday! We awoke to snow flurries and a stiff wind. BRRRR!!! The Congressional Selma to Montgomery commemorative Civil Rights March was taking place in downtown Montgomery, so we were denied access to any of the Civil Rights locations. Not to be deterred, we opted to go to Old Alabama Town, a 6-block area where authentically restored 19th and early 20th century structures have been collected. Not all the buildings are eligible for touring - but there is a 2-block area divided into Living and Working buildings. The Working block consisted of a grist mill, a cotton gin, drug store, print shop, and blacksmith shop. The Living Block included several style homes, a church, school and doctor's home, slave quarters, and a plantation mansion.
From Old Alabama Town we went to Eastdale Mall where we ate lunch and then returned to our campground to thaw out!
