On Saturday, October 24, the pioneer log cabin that reputedly served as a stagecoach stop in the early days of Tuscumbia’s history, will come alive with music, food, crafts and living history demonstrations in celebration of the founding of the city, first known as Coldwater.

The Founders Day celebration, hosted by the City of Tuscumbia and Colbert County Historical Landmarks Foundation (CCHLF), will take place from 10 am until 2 pm at the Coldwater Stage Coach Stop, which is the log cabin located at 300 N. Dickson Street, across from the Police Station, in Tuscumbia. The event is free and open to the public.

The annual Founders Day celebration will include live music from the Cane Creek Cliff Dwellers, spinning and textile weaving by the Shoals Weavers Guild and chair caning and basket weaving by Glen Rikard. Tours of the log cabin, formerly an important stage coach stop, will be offered between 10 am and 2 pm. Books published by local historians will be sold, along with chicken stew and baked goods.
