Click here to see the beautiful Southern town of Belle Mina, Alabama.
“Belle Mina looks like just another tiny Alabama crossroads. But this place was once home to an Alabama governor, a massive plantation, enslaved workers, and a railroad station that existed here partly because the people of nearby Mooresville didn’t want the railroad in their own town.”
What’s hiding in one of Alabama’s smallest and most overlooked communities?
In this episode of Unseen, we explore Belle Mina, Alabama — a tiny Limestone County community with a history that is far bigger than it looks today. From its connection to Alabama’s early political history and the remarkable Belle Mina plantation to the railroad that helped shape the community, there’s much more here than meets the eye.
We’ll explore old roads, historic buildings, railroad history, and some of the stories that helped make Belle Mina what it is today.
Belle Mina may be small, but its history runs deep.
Come along as we go beyond the obvious and uncover another place in Alabama that most people simply drive past.
