Below is a song written by one of our Fredonia citizens,
Judy Collins:
Sweet Home town, Fredonia Alabam Chorus Sweet home town, Fredonia Alabam—where

shone bright They’ve joined long-time Fredonia folk: “We dare defend our rights.” (all
together now) --“We dare defend out rights!” For Our...(Chorus)
