Found something to see

Well today it was nice and warm ahead of a storm coming in tomorrow. So we decided to take the bike and ride to a Covered bridge we had heard about. It was the Clarkson Covered bridge. It was a nice bridge and we had a nice walk through it. There is also an old Mill on the site but no information on it.
After we left there we happened to see a sigh about a Civil War Museum so we went in that direction and we found a real Jewell. It was the Crooked Creek Civil War Museum. It is a privet owned museum and sites on the Battle field of Crooked Creek. This was the site of the confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and Union Col. Abel Streight fought for several hours on April 30, 1863 at Crossing of Crooked Creek and Hog Mountain. The owner was great and took us on a guided tour and told us all about the things he had there. We were also able to pick up things and play with them. Gloria was amazed how heavy the Muskets were. There lots of Authentic Civil War thing there and it was great to see them. If you are ever in the area between Arley and Cullman AL. you should try to find it. It is hard to find as it is not advertised real well but would be worth you time to see it.
