A magnificent article on the Pickett house and it’s history. Look forward to visiting this house. Hopefully the information here in the Pickett’s will help in my genealogy I have.
I learned of the Pickett’s soon after moving to Autauga County. I immediately began researching the local history and was pleased to find the family hailed from North Carolina. I am originally from Charlotte and the Pickett’s just down the road. The story of how Albert rode on horseback returning to Wadesboro to attend college still amazes me. What a ride that must have been and even more so, an experience. I think of their family every time I ride into Autaugaville, originally “Pickett’s Range”. I’m amazed when I look at the original map of the town as drawn in the “Pickett Papers” and that it has changed very little since it was first surveyed out and the streets named. It sure makes me feel at home living here. Well done, a great web site, keep up the good work!
We need an after picture taken from the same spot.
There are quite a few nice pics in the article.
Nice

[…] Albert J. Pickett home in Montgomery has been restored and is the home of the Montgomery historical society […]
I went in it once when it was a convenience store. It looked nothing like it did before or now.
Not my family (that I know of…), but still, great home!!
