  2. Thank you for this information. I am the County Commissioner in Russell County that has started the project for the restoration of the building. The building had a roof leak and probably only had a couple of years left when I took office. It looks so good today and we are working on landscaping and placing restrooms in separate building out back so people can come see the building and relax in the park area we have proposed next to the building.
    Our community is so excited about this project and we are planning a “Day in the Park” on October 18, 2014 from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET as a fundraiser to continue the project.
    I would love to let you have access to the building to continue to story.

  7. We need to preserve these sites.
    Is anything being done to preserve the Tuckabatchee Town and Talisi Town sites?

  8. Too bad no one knows what really happened and all the false history is being perpetuated while history within official records is not used hardly at all. Interesting when we figure out that American History is the greatest lie ever told.

  10. The Native American Nations website (http://www.nanations.com/tribes.htm ) in their Alphabetical Enumeration of the Indian Tribes and Nations lists Tukabatche as being on Tallapoosie River, 30 mi. above Fort Alabama, in 1775 as does The Aboriginal Races of North America , by Samuel G. Drake, 1880, 15th ed. Rev., NY

    This is several miles from Crawford.
