THE SOUTHERN LITERARY TRAIL
connects southern places in Alabama, Georgia
and Mississippi that inspired great American writers to create
classic fiction and plays. The inspiration continues. Every two
years, the Trail's organizers host Trailfest, the only tri-state
literary festival in the United States with free events, theatrical
performances and heritage tours.
Visit our Facebook scrapbook for photos of our Trailfest 2011 events.
