Traveler Guide to Eufaula, AL
Eufaula is a town on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River in the River Heritage region of Alabama, and like that river, Eufaula is a real sleeper, though it has a dark restive past, with secessionists terrorizing abolitionists before the Civil War, and white supremacists killing at least 7 black people during the Election Riot of 1874, not to mention municipal officials postponing integration as much as possible. All that aside though, some nice historical architecture remains to be seen.
