TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, Ala. - One of Alabama’s oldest roads could create a path of future success for tourism in the state.
Old Byler Road in Tuscaloosa County was the first road in Alabama as designated by the state legislature back in 1819. What remains of the road runs pas the Prewitt Slave Cemetery in northern Tuscaloosa County where 815 to 900 slaves are buried, according to the Prewitt Slave Cemetery Association. The Alabama Department of Tourism agree to put up 50 historical markers along a proposed Byler Road Scenic Byway.
The project would stretch from the Tennessee River in North Alabama to the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa County with other historical sites along the route. It would end near the river on Main Avenue in historic downtown Northport.
