Welcome to Campsite One. I’m Velda, granddaughter of David Hall, who opened this land to the marchers on their first night of the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery journey. Our modern farmhouse offers a peaceful place to reflect, rest, and connect—with comfort for Jubilee visitors, civil rights travelers, football fans, birders, and hunters.
