The Forks of Cypress is a few miles north of my hometown of Florence, Alabama. A former plantation house, it was struck by a ‘lightning cluster’ in 1966 (when I was 2) and exploded into flames, burning to the ground in under 5 minutes. I wrote the song as fiction, inspired by Bobbie Gentry story songs like an Ode to Billie Joe, where she implies a story without really telling it. In my head, I heard Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) singing it with me and was blessed that she was willing to do so.

In this video, I talk with Anthony Rhodes about his experience growing up at the Forks of Cypress Planation and what it was like living in a former enslaved dwelling. I also provide a little detail about my own family connection to the site. My great x4 grandfather Ferdinand Jackson was enslaved by James and Sarah Moore Jackson. Florence is a small sleepy town with a lot of history. #alabama #slavery #history #historic #historical #travel #travelhistory #historyfacts #historylove #historychannel

Completed in 1830, the Forks of Cypress mansion was originally located on 3,000 acres located just west of present-day Florence between the forks of Big and Little Cypress Creeks. Built for James Jackson and designed by architect William Nichols, the mansion was one of the earliest Greek Revival homes in Alabama.
