Moulton, Lawrence County


In late 2006, I attended a meeting in the City of Moulton. Moulton is the county seat of Lawrence County and is located in North Alabama. Along the way to Moulton from I-65 is a unique destination in the small town of Oakville. This is the Jesse Owens Memorial Park dedicated to one of America's greatest Olympians. Owens won 4 gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Track and Field. The park is dedicated to his life and accomplishments (http://www.jesseowensmuseum.org/).
We dined at the best barbecue joint in Moulton, John's Barbecue. Located in an old wooden house, and a real treat for Bama football fans (massive amounts of memorabilia), John's serves up traditional southern pork barbecue and tasty side dishes.
