Join Cherith Fluker, author of "Secret Birmingham: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure," as she shares excerpts from her book and more Birmingham fun facts and history (including Ruffner Mountain!). Afterwards, you can join us for a hike on the Trillium Trail.

The hike is optional. It's a .6 mile hike with a short uphill walk on a paved road and then a downhill trail with several rocks and roots creating uneven terrain. You do not have to participate in the hike to meet Cherith and enjoy learning more about Birmingham!

Cherith Glover Fluker is a freelance writer and ed tech professional who has partnered with destinations across the country to create travel and lifestyle content. After exploring and promoting cities nationwide, she turned her attention closer to home to shine a light on the rich history, hidden gems, and vibrant culture of Birmingham, Alabama.

In her book, Secret Birmingham: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure, Cherith serves as a guide to the city’s quirky landmarks, fascinating people, and lesser-known places that often go unnoticed in traditional travel guides. Since writing the book, she has made it her mission to help locals rediscover the magic in their own backyards and to invite visitors to experience for themselves why Birmingham is known as the Magic City.
