Today was the unveiling of the Yancey Crane Cemetery Historical Marker Dedication. Another important piece to the puzzle of City of Daphne, Alabamaโ€™s history. Come and see it and unlock another piece of our history. Located at 27520 US HWY 98 in Daphne.

Tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

Tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

The City of Daphne and Sandy Sansing Ford Lincoln invite the public to celebrate the installation of the Yancey Crane Cemetery historical marker at 10:00 AM on Thursday, June 6, 2024.

The historical marker pays tribute to many African-American and white Daphne settlers whose burials are indicated by records and gravestones dating back to 1860 or earlier. Early settlers, both Civil War and World War I soldiers, formerly enslaved persons, and others who lived during the height of the Village, as Daphne was once referred to, are buried here. William R. Yancey, a drummer for General James Wilkenson in the War of 1812, is buried here. Amey Greenwood Phillips, who was illegally captured in Africa and brought to the United States in 1860 on the last known slave ship, the Clotilda, is also buried here. Phillips was later enslaved at the then-Greenwood Plantation in present day Loxley, Alabama.

In recent years, research and ground penetrating radar indicated 200 or more people are buried in this cemetery on land now owned by Sandy Sansing Ford Lincoln who purchased and erected a monument in 2023 to honor the known and unknown who are laid to rest at this location.

The Yancey Crane historical marker has been erected through collaborative efforts of the City of Daphne, Sandy Sansing Ford Lincoln, and local Daphne residents and historians dedicated to preserving our historical heritage. It is part of the Alabama Historical Commissionโ€™s historical marker program.

The dedication ceremony will be held at the Yancey Crane Cemetery site, located at Sandy Sansing Ford Lincoln, 27180 US Highway 98 in Daphne. Special guest speakers will include Daphne Mayor Robin LeJeune and Mr. Sandy Sansing. Refreshments will be served following the ceremony.

Happy National Travel and Tourism Week! ๐ŸŒŽ In the spirit of this week, we invite you to Discover Daphne! Do you know why Daphne, Alabama is known as the "Jubilee City?"

๐Ÿฆ€ Daphne is most famous for being one of only two places in the world to experience a natural phenomenon called a "Jubilee." This rare phenomenon occurs when a layer of water with low-dissolved oxygen moves to the shore, forcing bottom-dwelling fish and crustaceans to the shore. The result is a bountiful grouping of blue crabs, flounder, shrimp and other fish gathered in the shallow waters of the shoreline! This occurrence makes it essentially effortless to scoop them up into a net or cooler and bring home an abundance of fresh seafood to eat.

๐ŸŸScientific evidence as well as local legend both claim that the conditions that cause a jubilee must be just right in order for it to happen. Jubilees only occur in the summer months, following a cloudy day when the bay is calm and slick, with a gentle breeze coming from the east and usually in the early dawn hours before sunrise.

Come discover Daphne and, if the conditions are just right, see this truly unique experience for yourself!
