Alabama Small Town Snaps: 4 Must-See Photo Ops in Eufaula
Whether you're cruising down Highway 431 on your way to the beach or planning a weekend getaway, Eufaula is one of those towns that stops you in your tracks — literally. With antebellum mansions, iconic landmarks, and a whole lot of Southern personality, Eufaula is more than a pass-through town. It’s a destination all its own — especially if your camera is ready.
Here are four can’t-miss photo spots that perfectly capture the town’s soul:
🎶 1. Leroy Brown Monument
"Bad, bad Leroy Brown" comes to life here in Eufaula, the hometown of the real-life inspiration behind the Jim Croce classic. This monument is full of local character and makes a fun and unexpected snap — especially for music lovers and history buffs.
🎣 2. Manny the Bass
Fishing is a way of life in Eufaula, so it’s only fitting that this town has its own larger-than-life tribute to its bass-fishing fame. Manny the Bass is a must-stop for families, anglers, and anyone looking for that perfect blend of quirky and iconic.
🐟 3. Superior Pecan Fish Sculpture
This public art piece brings together Eufaula’s love of local flavor and creativity. Located near Superior Pecans & Gifts (yes, that pecan shop — don’t leave without a treat!), this fish sculpture is a photo-op that’s both artsy and totally unique to Eufaula.
🎭 4. Save the Martin Theatre Marquee and Mural
This downtown gem is a nod to Eufaula’s cultural heartbeat. The vintage-style marquee and adjacent mural are ideal for dramatic shots, nighttime snaps, or showcasing that classic small-town cinema charm.
