SYLACAUGA, Ala. – Three historical markers were revealed to the Sylacauga City Council at Tuesday night’s meeting.

The three markers for famed destinations in the Marble City were presented by the Sylacauga Historical Commission’s Chairman Linda Dickson.

The markers will be presented to the Sylacauga Historic Commercial District (National Register of Historic Places – June 2, 2004), Sylacauga Cemetery-(Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage – Sept. 15, 1975), and B. B. Comer Memorial Library (National Register of Historic Places -Sept. 5, 2005). The library is currently serving as the Isabel Anderson Comer Museum and Arts Center.

Dickson previously said, “This project reflects the mission statement of our Alabama 200 Bicentennial celebration as the markers commemorate the stories of our people, place and path to statehood. Our city is one of many that make our state great and we have a story to tell which reflects the 181 years of our part in state history. When these markers are placed in their designated places of honor, they will become the storytellers for generations to come. A historic marker allows you to pause and reflect on the significance of an area and allow the viewer to have a mindful moment of the story portrayed. The markers remind all who will take a moment to read of these pioneer efforts of the privilege that we have been afforded to be a part of the 200th birthday celebration of our state.”
