If you ever wanted to learn more about the Town of Columbia's extensive history, now you have the chance.
"There is over 200 years of history in that town," Karen Mann, education specialist for Columbia Historical Society, said."It is as old as the state, and it probably had a settlement before Alabama existed. A lot of firsts came out of Columbia, Alabama, and we are very proud of that."
Some of the history highlighted in the documentary include the significance behind some of the town's buildings, and the Anglin brothers, who robbed a bank in the town in 1958 before robbing several others all across the country and later on escaping from Alcatraz. Houston County Commission Chairman Brandon Shoupe praised the organization for its continued work in preserving Columbia's history.
