The Bob Jones Community Center
In 1909,
J.R. Kennamer, Sr. had the beautiful structure built, and it was
used as a mercantile business. Later, the Campbell Brothers entered the
business and ran the company until they retired in the 1970's. After Bob Jones
retired from the U.S. Congress, he purchased the building in order to store
many of his records and memorabilia in it. When Congressman Bob Jones moved
all of his records to a building near his Scottsboro, Alabama home around
1980, he gave the building to the Town of Woodville. The center has a large
banquet room with tables and chairs, kitchen and bathroom facilities. It
serves as an excellent facility for group gatherings, reunions, receptions,
etc. For information on reserving the building for your group contact the Woodville Town Hall:
(256) 776-2860.
The Bob Jones
Community Center is overseen by The Parks & Recreation Committee
which meets on the third (3rd) Thursday of each month. Joyce Kennamer is
the chairperson, Carolyn Terry is the co-chairperson, and the other members
are Gaylia Tanner, Larry Tanner,
and Lanell Baker. The
committee also oversees the Methodist
Chapel.

The
Woodville Historical Center is housed in the Bob Jones Community
Center. For tours, please contact the Woodville Town Hall:
