& I
Did you know marble from Sylacauga was used in the Lincoln Memorial? The Comer center has a cool collection of arrowheads too.
The observation area is free and open to the public 9 to 4 daily. Just pull out there and park and read the educational signs explaining about the quarry, marble and more.
Also if you plan a trip to Sylacauga make sure you plan ahead to secure a spot on the Blue Bell Factory Tour.
It's fun, tasty and easy for the kids to enjoy especially since they get cute ice cream parlor hats.
