Bullock County offers many opportunities to explore Alabama's history, from the days of the early Indians to the present. We gladly preserve beautiful old homes and commercial buildings, commemorate historic sites and adapt many of the customs of our fore-bears to the modern age.
Red Door Theater - Trinity Church serves as the Welcome Center for the city of Union Springs. The building hosts many events and activities year round. It is also the home of the "Red Door Theatre," named in honor of the red doors traditionally found on Episcopal churches.
Churches: Sunday church attendance, annual songfests and celebrations are a strong link to Bullock County's pioneer past. Simple country churches as well as imposing Gothic designs show the pride and care of generations of worshippers.
Homes: An impressive 106 homes are in our historic district. These homes consist of a wide variety of architectural styles.
Buildings: Our Historic District contains 45 commercial buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
