Big Fish is one of my all time favorite movies. ❤️ It was filmed primarily in Montgomery and Wetumpka Alabama. The fictional town of Spectre is technically in Millbrook and was built on Jackson Lake Island. When filming was done the set was left as is by request of the owners of the property. I've always wanted to go and see the set, and I finally made it there this weekend.
When the hurricane came through a few years ago, a lot of damage was done to the little town., but many of the buildings have been repaired and the lot cleaned up. It was neat to see it. ❤️
Everyone throws a pair of shoes up on the line when they visit. The line has been replaced many times, because the weight of the shoes breaks the line.

It was a good day. ❤️

More moments added to our living history.
First we have a photo, circa 1890 of Tallapoosa's Freemasons. The photo was taken by H.H.French.
Next, we have a precious shot of a little boy,, looking so smartly dressed as he waits to be photographed. Lastly, we have two lovely ladies about to enjoy a game of tennis.
Let me know if you enjoy these reels and as always, feel free to share. :)

Tallapoosa Boom years' photographers, C.J. Ostberg-Smart and H.H. French.
We have posted before about Mr. French and how 14 of his photos of Tallapoosa are in the American History Archives in The Smithsonian.

Here is a link to those photos:

It would be very interesting to find out more information on Ms. Smart. :)

Recently, I went on a search for family history. The Horsley Cemetery, is located in Carroll County and has been there for well over a century, and still comes up as such on GPS. So I was a bit confused by the sign and the "no trespassing" notice tacked to the fence gate.

I didn't trespass in case you were wondering, because unfortunately, there wasn't much to see.

Save for the handful of stones facing the road behind the barbed wire, the rest look like unmarked and broken markers.

These are my people...I was told my uncle used to cut the grass here and kept it neat. My grandfather preached at Poplar Springs Primitive Baptist Church until his health declined, making it impossible for him to continue. He is buried at the church down the road.

I just left with a weird feeling that a significant part of my family history has been lost.
