Discover Double Springs

Double Springs is the seat of Winston County, the "Free State of Winston." After Alabama seceded on January 11, 1861, Winston County residents met at Looney's Tavern near Addison on July 4, 1861, and resolved that Alabama had no right to secede, but that if it did, Winston had the same right to secede from Alabama. A Confederate sympathizer, "Uncle Dick" Payne, scoffed, "Oh, oh, Winston secedes! The Free State of Winston!" The county did not secede, but the nickname stuck. Winston furnished 239 Union and 112 Confederate soldiers, and a statue in Double Springs, half Union and half Confederate, honors both.

More about Double Springs

The county seat was first at Houston. After Cullman County took the eastern part of Winston in 1877, voters chose the more central Double Springs; sources date the referendum to 1883 or 1884. The town was not incorporated until May 17, 1943. Double Springs honors the brothers Seaborn M. Denson and Thomas J. Denson, who spent their lives composing and teaching the Sacred Harp style of religious folk singing across the South; their memorial was placed in 1944, the centennial of The Sacred Harp.
