Scottsboro

Scottsboro is in the Mountains region of Alabama and is the seat of Jackson County, having enlivened a railroad mode of commerce there. It is a memorial to a seemingly rare instance where civil rights prevailed in the otherwise rather torn history of equality in this country, in a case known as the Scottsboro Boys. It's also the site of a unique venue where unclaimed airline baggage is publicly sold.

Get in
Scottsboro is off on its own it seems on the west bank of the Tennessee River. You can get there from Huntsville pretty directly via US Route 75, and to I-65 over what used to be this derelict passage over the Tennesee River called the Comer Bridge, now thankfully replaced by a modern span.
