Bicentennial Celebration Underway in Demopolis

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

The city of Demopolis is 200 years old this year.

And there’s a big birthday bash planned in the city over the next few days to celebrate.

The Demopolis Bicentennial festivities include more than a dozen events.

The four-day celebration is sponsored by the Marengo Co. Historical Society and the city of Demopolis.

The event is highlighted by a Black Tie Gala and a Pilgrimage of historic homes.

“We’ve featured houses that date all the way back to 1829 but then I even saw one that was built in 2004,” said Kirk Brooker.

“Because we’re celebrating not just our beginnings of Demopolis but all 200 years of being here.”
