We had quite the cast of characters in Harrison Brothers Hardware this morning, as Daniel Harrison, the Black Widow of Hazel Green, and Gen. Samuel Moore stopped by the store on their way to the Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll tomorrow, Sunday, October 18, at Maple Hill Cemetery.

We are most grateful to Chandler Hall (Daniel Harrison), Jan Dorning (The Black Widow of Hazel Green), and Van Brown (Gen. Samuel Moore) for spending the morning with us and sharing their love of Huntsville history.

For forty-one years, the Huntsville Pilgrimage Association has produced the Cemetery Stroll and made it free to the community. Many thanks to all those who donate their time and talentm for most this worthy event!

We LOVE repeat customers in Harrison Brothers, so we were especially thrilled to welcome actor/comedian Lewis Black back to the store on Monday afternoon. We have it on good authority that he bought a Harrison Brothers t-shirt.

Great choice, Mr. Black!

We urge you to listen to this interview with Nancy Van Valkenburgh, a recipient of the Women's Economic Development Council's Women Honoring Women award, as she describes the origins of Huntsville's historic preservation movement.

Nancy is a founder of the Historic Huntsville Foundation. She is also a driving force behind the preservation of Harrison Brothers Hardware. We are incredibly grateful for all that Nancy does for our community and for her outstanding example of servant leadership.

We had a fabulous time celebrating Sonya R. Clemons's 30-year Artiversary in Harrison Brothers on Sunday, September 13. Along with Judge Frank Barger, Deanne and Chadwick Shull, and Abby Owen, we were thrilled that Sonya's mom joined us for the festivities.

Mrs. Clemons' hands have been immortalized through Sonya's "Mama's Hands" series, which show her mother engaged in the everyday tasks of "cooking and "tending." These paintings pay tribute to homemaking traditions passed down from grandmothers and mothers.

We had a great day of "Sonya Sales." We also have pieces that would be a great addition to any art collection. Stop by The Gallery at Harrison Brothers Hardware and add a bit of art to your life.

We had such fun hosting the Douglass-Brandon family for a Cornerstones of History walking tour on Saturday morning. They scheduled the Cornerstones tour as one of the activities for their family reunion. These folks are the descendants of Henderson Brandon, who--along with his son Daniel--established Huntsville's most successful Black-owned business of the Reconstruction Era.

The Brandons were prolific builders, constructing at least ten structures within a brief walk of the courthouse square. Daniel Brandon also supplied the bricks and masonry for Harrison Brothers.

Our walking tours are ONE of the features of our educational mission. Stay tuned for more info on the next tour...when the temps are cooler!
