Established in 1820 the Wormwood Inn has been a landmark for the town of Attic, AL. Aside from cash crops, the town's major source of income was tourism. People from all over the Gulf Coast were drawn to this small town to stay in the grand Wormwood Inn.

The Wormwood always had rooms available for guests. The coffee was always hot, toilets always clean, and house keeping was second to none. The beds were stuffed with feathers and were often called "the vehicles to heaven" because they were so comfortable.

John Garrett was the Inn's operator and also worked part time as a grave digger. He's seen many characters in his time and kept a journal often personifying the inn's tennents. Some say he wasn't all there, but always known as a kind spirit.

Sadly, the town of Attic, AL suffered horrible times. The rain stopped and livestock started to expire. With lack of food and water the towns people started going mad. Eventually Wormwood housed lost, starving souls. After too many "foundational accidents" the Wormwood was forced to close down for good. The town of Attic slowly died off by 1890. However, John Garrett's journal recently was found by a makeshift grave marker near Atmore, Al. Carved into the front cover of his journal was the name "Linda Joe".

These are the stories from the souls of the Wormwood Inn.
