Guntersville Walking Trails
It wasn’t until moving to Alabama that I felt a sense of home.
"When I first moved to Marshall, the community was welcoming, my husband and I were never left with a weekend without plans. It wasn’t until moving to Alabama that I felt a sense of home. The natural beauty of Alabama gave us peace that we could not have where we were living."
