Discover Lineville

Lineville offers several distinct reasons to visit: insights into local history, events in November, and birdwatching at the City Park. If you are looking for a hotel in Lineville, your reason for traveling can help you decide where to start: a particular event date, an interest in local history, or the right part of the cooler season for waterfowl. These options require different kinds of planning. Heritage Day takes place on a set day every November, while the park’s birdlife is described in seasonal terms. You can plan your travel dates around what interests you most while you are there.

Lineville’s History at the Museum and Beyond

The Lineville City Museum displays materials on schools, sports, band music, African American history, the military, the fire department, the police, clubs, and civic organizations. The account of the city’s history also includes documents, artifacts, and clothing. These topics offer insights into community life, public institutions, and historical objects, rather than focusing on a single aspect of the city. Some of Lineville’s history is also preserved at the city library. In addition, the city preserves astronaut Joe Edwards’s flight suit. Lineville maintains a time capsule that is intended to be opened and supplemented every 25 years. These different forms of preservation range from documents and artifacts to a time capsule.

A city notice from January 2022 stated that museum visits were by appointment only. Check the current arrangements before your visit.

November: Heritage Day and Other Events

Lineville Heritage Day takes place every year on the first Saturday in November. The event includes historical presentations and demonstrations of pioneer skills, as well as arts and crafts booths and food. The day offers several ways to experience local history: through presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and crafts, alongside food. For trip planning, the first Saturday in November is the key date.

Lineville also hosts the annual Alcarzar Car Show and Swap Meet in November. If an event is the reason for your trip, check the dates for the relevant year and plan your overnight stays accordingly.

The entrance to Lineville City Park is on the west side of AL Highway 9, less than 0.1 miles north of the intersection of Highway 9 and Highway 48 in Lineville. Wild waterfowl tend to visit the park’s lower lake during the cooler months. There are numerous songbirds in the woods east of the park road. Nature enthusiasts can get their bearings in the park by these different features: waterfowl at the lower lake, with a seasonal focus, and songbirds in the wooded area east of the road.
