September 6th & 7th - Walkin' With Outlaws

The Florence-Lauderdale Public Library is sponsoring 'Walkin' With Outlaws,' a walking tour through downtown Florence featuring the places and people from the life of Thomas Marion 'Mountain' Tom Clark (1828-1872), who let a gang of thieves, guerillas and bushwhackers who terrorized residents of Lauderdale, Limestone and Wayne counties during the Civil War. The tours will take place on Monday, September 6, and Tuesday, September 7, at 6:30 pm and will begin at the front entrance of the library.
The story of 'Mountain' Tom Clark is one of the most colorful in Lauderdale County history. Co-leader of a gang of notorious outlaws, Clark rose to infamy as the murderer of at least 16 men and possibly one child. His legend states that he was buried underneath East Tennessee Street because of his supposed boast that 'Nobody ever runs over Tom Clark.'
A guide will lead you through downtown Florence, stopping at historic sites significant to Tom Clark and his gang of outlaws, the Clifton Shebang. Along the tour, you will meet various people (played by local actors) from Tom Clark’s life.
Meet at the front entrance of the Florence Lauderdale Public Library, 218 N. Wood Ave., Florence.
Tickets are $10 and are available at the Circulation Desk at the library.
For more information, call Lee Freeman at 764-6564, ext. 30 or 28.
