ALABAMA A & M COLLEGE
GREEN BOTTOM INN, one of Huntsville's earliest
hostelries, was located on Meridian Pike on site
now occupied by Alabama A & M. Built in 1815
by John Connelly, the inn attained widespread
fame for its adjoining race track, over which
many of the outstanding race horses of the
period competed. Gen. Andrew Jackson, an avid
follower of the sport, aften stopped here to race
his horses and fight his cocks. For many years
the table where he dined was preserved.
