Beth and Kelly dig a shovel test near a stone pile suspected to be the foundation of a fireplace and chimney of a mid-nineteenth century structure near Tannehill State Park in Alabama. This may have been a house for forge works who made iron for the Confederate government during the Civil War. The site is along the Iron Haul Road that connected Tannehill to Montevallo across the Cahaba River valley then to the wartime industrial complex at Selma. The water powered forge hammer on Roupes Creek was washed away during a flood in 1866.
