Introduction

Carved between the mountains by the mighty Tennessee River is the wonderful valley town of Scottsboro. Adjacent to bounteous lakes, opportunities for recreation of all kinds abound. The town square is the centerpiece of this north Alabama town and is also where you’ll gaze upon its historic Jackson County Courthouse, site to many important turning points in the country’s Civil Rights Movement. Murals surround the square honoring this history, along with plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining and relaxing amidst the luscious landscapes and imposing iconic structures, like Payne’s Soda Fountain, Kudzu Cafe, and The Magnolia House.
