Marbury, in Autauga County, was the site of Alabama's only home for Confederate veterans. The Alabama Confederate Soldiers' Home opened in May 1902 on a 102-acre site as a haven for destitute veterans and their wives and widows. Its 22 buildings included nine cottages, a commandant's house, an administration building called Memorial Hall, a mess hall and a hospital, with water, gas and sewer systems, giving residents a less institutional life than such homes in other states.
The home was designed for 100 residents and reached a peak of 91 veterans and 13 wives between 1914 and 1918. The last veteran died in June 1934, and the home housed a few widows until it officially closed on October 31, 1939. Its buildings were then taken down, except the mess hall, which stood until the mid-1960s. In 1964 the Alabama Legislature preserved the site as Confederate Memorial Park, including the home's two cemeteries.
