Pettusville is an unincorporated community in Limestone County, Alabama, United States.

The most famous was a chalybeate (iron rich) spring thought to restore the weary and cure a host of ailments.

Coming to Pettusville to drink the water became so popular that the large home built of yellow poplar logs Pettus built for himself on a ridge above the spring was turned into a hotel to accommodate the visitors.

The cool sweet-tasting water of the chalybeate spring brought crowds to the little community beginning in the 1850s.
