The Christenberry Courtyard

Located between the John R. Rhodes Civic Center and Bay Minette City Hall. This courtyard is named in memory of Rev. Daniel and Mary Ellen Christenberry, two beloved individuals who had servants hearts. The courtyard area renovation included the addition of beautiful plants and flowers, pergola, bench and swing area. The brick pavers were repurposed from some removed from the downtown sidewalk area. The project was designed and overseen by Jody McMillan and Mark Meastas with City’s Parks and Grounds crew and was funded through donations from Christenberry friends, family, and First United Methodist Church.
