Burnt Corn, AL - Smells Like Burnt Corn

Yes, you read that town's name correctly. Burnt Corn is the name of a town in Alabama. The small community got its name after an event during the Creek War of 1813. However, no one is sure if the Native Americans burnt the settlers' corn or if it was the other way around. Either way, tourists can visit the small town today and take photos of some of the area's historic buildings.

These include things like an old general store, churches, and a Coca-Cola mural from the 1930s. The town's census hasn't been recorded since 1880, but the population is pretty small.
