Autumn Colors at The Brownstone Manor

Autumn colors were brilliant at The Brownstone Manor this year.

Our world in the Deep South changed quickly,

and this morning we are shivering 25-degree F cold!

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.
