Unique Alabama History
During the last weeks of the Civil War, a Federal raiding party came through Tuscaloosa burning the city and most of the campus of the University of Alabama as they went. This home, because of the owner's large farm and cattle supply, was spared as a site of peace where Federal soldiers camped on their grounds, ate their foods, and rested from battle.
Previous Owner, John Edward Jones, was what his family called a horse whisperer. With his wife, Crenshaw Jones, they owned and operated North River Stables and helped to establish Ray Jenkins Horse Competition Arena. Both of these areas impacted the lives of many children, families, and Horse enthusiasts across Alabama for years - & years to come!
