Encyclopedia of Alabama: Chilton County

In 1902, Jefferson Manly Faulkner, a Montgomery lawyer and Confederate veteran, donated 80 acres of his own land in southeastern Chilton County as the site for the Alabama Confederate Soldiers Home. The retirement community consisted of a 22-building complex that included a 25-bed hospital. At its peak, the home housed more than 100 people. The area now serves as Confederate Memorial Park. In post-World War II years Chilton County emerged as the principle peach growing area in the state, a status it continues to hold. After a particularly large crop, the town of Thornsby held the first Peach Festival in 1947. The festival moved to Clanton in 1952, where it continues to be celebrated.
