Clearing Debris at the Kenan's Mill Spillway

Jim Wood clears log and leaf debris from atop the spillway at Kenan's Mill in preparation for Saturday's festival.

Stone-ground cornmeal and grits will be available for sale, and visitors can tour the mill and see the wheels turn.

The festival opens at 9 and closes at 5. More info HERE.

There were no adults with them and I ordered them to stop like I was some sort of drill sergeant. LOL! - I LOVE fresh, stone-ground grits! Yum! And that would be extra special to watch them do it!; November 5, 2011 at 5:26 AM

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
