The Homeplace · Odenville, Alabama
It's been since 2020. We're planning the next Tucker reunion at the old homeplace near Odenville — and we want you there.
Here's how it works: RSVP below — tell us you're coming, and help us lock the date. We're aiming for the family's traditional time, a Saturday in October, on the fifty-nine acres where Jim and Fannie Lou raised their eleven children. The more families who say “we're in,” the sooner we set it in stone. No cost, and plans can change — this just gets the ball rolling.
Every family that says “we're in” gets us closer. When we hit the goal, we lock a date and start planning in earnest.
We won't lock the exact day until enough of the family is in — but we're aiming for a Saturday in October 2027 (sooner if everyone's ready). Drop the tentative date on your calendar so it's on your radar, and we'll update it the moment it's confirmed.
Tentative — we’ll confirm the exact Saturday once we hit enough RSVPs. Add it now and you’ll have it when it’s locked.
Nothing fancy — a day on the family's own ground, doing the things families do. Here's the shape of it, so you know what you'd be saying yes to.
Tables set up on the homeplace, everybody bringing a dish. The kind of spread the eleven children grew up around — and a good excuse to bring back the recipes.
One big picture of everyone who came, plus smaller groupings by branch. Cousins who've never met, finally in the same frame.
Sack races, tag, and room to run on the acreage — so the youngest Tuckers have their own memories of the place.
A walk of the old homeplace and up to Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery, where Samuel James & Fannie Lou rest — a quiet moment to pay respects where the family began.
Time set aside to share the family's story — the genealogy the family has gathered over the years, the eleven children, and how each of us traces back to this one farm.
Shade, chairs, and the whole afternoon to catch up. The reunion was always really about this part.
The Tucker homeplace sits just outside Odenville, in St. Clair County, Alabama — the fifty-nine acres near where Jim and Fannie Lou raised their family, a short way from Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery.
Approximate location, near 33.7126, −86.3933. Exact directions will go out once a date is set.
That's the whole question. Tell us yes, and help bring the family back to Odenville.
