Stevenson is a city in Jackson County, Alabama, United States, and is included in the Chattanooga-Cleveland-Dalton, TN-GA-AL Combined Statistical Area.

Sources listed either 1866 or 1867 as the year of incorporation, but that seems to conflict with the dates given for the town being granted a charter.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 1,955 people, 729 households, and 461 families residing in the city.

In addition, the museum displays artifacts recalling Native American culture, pioneer life, and Civil War events.

[8] The depot, which was built in 1872 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, stands on the ruins of Stevenson's first railroad depot, which was built around 1852 for common use by the Nashville Chattanooga and the Memphis & Charleston Railroads.

[9] Constructed by the Union Army in summer 1862 and expanded in 1864, using soldiers and slaves, Fort Harker was built on a broad hill a quarter-mile east of the town of Stevenson.

It overlooked Crow Creek and was well within firing range of Stevenson’s strategic railroad lines, supply depots and warehouses.

It contained 7 cannon platforms, a bomb-proof powder magazine, a draw-bridge entrance and an 8-sided wooden blockhouse at its center.

No major fighting occurred here, but skirmishes and sniper attacks were common as territory traded hands between Union and Confederate forces.

One other large fort, two smaller redoubts and at least seven blockhouses were constructed along the railroad lines at Stevenson during the Civil War.

In addition to forts, the Union Army established a medical facility and a refugee camp at Stevenson.

The week-long celebration is concluded with a parade, a day full of activities, and a street dance in the middle of Downtown Stevenson.
