Big
Woods
"Community was populated almost
exclusively by former slaves from the adjacent Dickson Plantation.
It was located on the Hancock-Washington county line north of the present
day Hamburg State Park. The mill at Hamburg serviced residents of
the Big Woods.There was at one time a store called "David Walker's Store"
located to the South West of Big Woods in Washington County. Based
on census information, oral histories and recollection of former residents
it was fairly sizeable, but began to dwindle in the late 1940's and early
1950'as as the sharecroppers and tenant farmers and their children began
to migrate to the cities and to the North." Harrell
