Many options await the growing number of Americans reaching retirement. Most stay in place. Some seek exotic locations. Others like the simple pleasures of rural and small-town life. This page is for those in the third group. We invite you to consider relocating to Pickens County, Alabama. As you explore this site you will find testimonies by those who have made this choice, introductions to some of the places, events, and things that make this a good place to retire, and a hearty invitation to come and take a look.
The fine art of quiltmaking is alive and well in Pickens County. In many locations friends and neighbors gather regularly to assemble and stitch together quilts as community projects. Recently some women in the Bethlehem community welcomed a visitor from Cracow, Poland–a novice to quilting–and instructed her in the quilting process. She was excited about learning and the ladies were thrilled, being able to pass along their knowledge and skills to the next generation.
