Next weekend will be action packed! Please join us for a Saturday historical marker dedication and Sunday winter meeting.

Please join Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment for our historical marker unveiling next Saturday, December 13th, at 11 AM.

We are honored to celebrate this historic unveiling alongside the Alabama Historical Association, the Huntsville-Madison County Historical Society, Jim Hudson, and all who help preserve the stories that shape our community.

As we honor the past, we also celebrate the people who keep these memories alive, those who research, create, and preserve. Our hope is that this unveiling reminds us how deeply our shared history connects us and how each of us carries it forward.

Guests will gather at the west walking gate near the Trailhead Bike Shop for the unveiling. Reception following in Studio 1065 with light hor d'oeuvres.

What does this former mill site in Opelika, Alabama, have to do with tomorrow's event with North Alabama Area Labor Council at InnerSpace Brewing Company ? It's where much of the movie we'll be watching was filmed!
Come out tomorrow (March 23 at 1:00pm), make some new friends, learn some labor history, and watch the 1979 film "Norma Rae" with us!
