The unincorporated community of Gallion, Alabama, formerly known as Macon Station, started as little more than a plantation along the rail line but was eventually renamed in honor of railroad official Jo Gallion. Nature lovers will appreciate the quiet, serene beauty of the community. With wide open spaces dotted by charming homes and churches, Gallion is an Alabama gem. And, if you’re feeling adventurous, consider visiting Chickasaw State Park; a sprawling, 14,000-acre state forest with amenities for primitive campers and glampers alike.
