Congratulations to our newest Bark Ranger -- Duke!
He & his person, Theo Vernon, recently visited Florence from Huntsville and had a beautiful (and warm!) walk in Deibert Park. Thank you, Duke, for upholding Bark Ranger standards & showing others how to care for our northwest Alabama spaces.
It's easy for your BFF to become a Bark Ranger, too! Check out our website at https://msnha.una.edu/ for details.

Here's this week's clue:

Named for the only person to sign all three of America's founding documents, this county was also one of the first iron ore centers in the state. Bonus points -- but not really because we don't give points but maybe we should??? -- if you can identify the pictured building. (Photo digitally edited to obscure identifying details.)

Think you know the answer? Post your best guesses in the comments below & come back later this week for the whole story.
