Not many Main Streets have a mascot—but Jasper Main Street isn’t just any Main Street.
Meet Tallulah, their sweet and gentle four-legged ambassador, named in honor of Jasper native and legendary actress Tallulah Bankhead. She reflects the warmth, personality and welcoming spirit that make Downtown Jasper special.
Rooted in History.
Always Moving Forward. Incorporated in 1887, Jasper began as a railroad town and grew into a thriving center of commerce serving the region’s coal mines, farms and surrounding communities. Through the decades, Downtown Jasper has remained at the heart of community life as a center for business, government and public service.
Today, that legacy continues.
Downtown is home to locally owned shops, including businesses operated by the same families for generations. Signature events such as the Foothills Festival welcome tens of thousands of visitors each September, bringing energy and economic impact to the district.
Come Hungry.
Downtown Jasper has become a regional foodie destination, with more than 20 locally owned restaurants offering everything from long-term favorites to new flavors and gathering places.
Ride, Explore & Discover.
One of the most memorable ways to experience downtown is aboard Trolley on Main (TOM). Throughout the year, TOM brings Jasper’s stories, landmarks and businesses to life through historic tours, special excursions and hop-on, hop-off events. Riders can explore at a relaxed pace while visiting shops, restaurants, attractions and event stops.
More to Explore.
Nearby public spaces include Town Creek Park, Gamble Park, Memorial Park and Wade Park. Visitors can also experience Jasper’s history and culture at the Jasper Welcome Center & Museum, Bankhead House & Heritage Center and The White House on 5th.
A Welcome for What Comes Next.
Jasper Main Street continues to invest in downtown’s future. The organization’s purchase of a revitalized historic building created a permanent home for Jasper Main Street and established the only Welcome Center along I-22 in Alabama—a fitting gateway to a community that honors its past while embracing its future.
