Old Cahawba: A Cahawba Advisory Committee Project
(John Gwin Note: This is a wonderful new site started sometime in 2003. The CAC is dedicated to assisting with the acquisition of all the land originally in the town and the preservation of such remnants of the town itself as the old St. Luke's Episcopal Church. You can become a contributor to this CAC project--click the link to find out how.)

(John Gwin Note:  We're not convinced this picture is of "Castle Morgan", even though CensusDiggins.com says it comes from the Library of Congress.  It doesn't match with descriptions we've read of the Cahawba prison, and the word "Andersonville" is printed right onto the picture at the bottom.)
