Leeds Historical Society to Feature Stagecoach Exhibit and Open Museum During 30th Annual Creek Bank Festival
The Leeds Historical Society is proud to announce its participation in the 30th Annual Creek Bank Festival on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Leeds Memorial Park. As part of the celebration, the Society will host an interactive booth featuring a life-size stagecoach replica and will open the Leeds Historical Society Museum at the historic Bass House, located at 1129 Montevallo Road, just steps away from the festival grounds.
Festival goers are invited to visit the Historical Society’s booth to learn about the Ashville to Montevallo Stagecoach Route, an important piece of Alabama’s early transportation and communication history. The booth will offer photo opportunities with the stagecoach replica and feature information about the people, post offices, and communities that developed along this vital 19th-century route—including what is now the City of Leeds.
In addition, the Bass House Museum will be open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, welcoming visitors to explore exhibits on local history, artifacts, and the story of Leeds’ early settlers. Volunteers will be on hand to give brief tours and answer questions about the area’s rich past.
“We’re excited to connect with the community and showcase how Leeds was shaped by the people, places, and movement along this historic route,” said Randy Ray, President of the Leeds Historical Society. “This is a great opportunity to explore our shared history in a fun and interactive way.”
The Creek Bank Festival is a free, family-friendly event featuring live music, food trucks, vendors, and kids’ activities. The Historical Society encourages everyone to stop by the booth, step inside the Bass House, and take a step back in time.

Leeds City Council District Map
Update on City Council Map Development Process
The map available on the City of Leeds website represents the culmination of a comprehensive and collaborative effort initiated by direction from the Mayor and City Council. This initiative reflects a significant investment of time, coordination, and thoughtful planning.
Throughout the process, individual members of the City Council engaged directly with city staff and legal advisors in a series of focused meetings. These one-on-one discussions were instrumental in refining and calibrating the map to align with the priorities and values of the community.
The commitment, diligence, and collaborative spirit demonstrated by Council members throughout this endeavor is commendable. Their collective contributions played a crucial role in shaping the final product, ensuring it is both informed and representative.
This map stands as a testament to the dedication of all involved in the development process.
