Tourist Guide

The Thomaston Colored Institute, aka Thomaston Academy, is a historic African American school building in the town of Thomaston, Alabama, United States. This two-story brick building was completed in 1910 as a private school by an African-American religious group, the West Alabama Primitive Baptist Association. The school served a historic African American neighborhood in Thomaston, as the only real educational opportunity for the area’s African-American population. This building has been abandoned since the 1970s, and has suffered from benign neglect. It was included on the Alabama Historical Commission's Places in Peril listing in 2000, the same year that it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. #historic #school #private #abandoned #neglect #negro #religious #colored #African-American #alabama

This was very close to where we needed to go. I wish I'd had the time to go to the Gee's Bend Quilt Museum and stroll the main street of Camden. We had a quick dinner a delightful place with their celebrated "C-O-B" (Chicken On Bun" and got ready for our event. Only thing I'd change is getting some ...

Be aware there is very little nearby. There is a grocery store, dollar general and CVS, so most basic needs ...
