What it’s like
The place. Baileyton is a very small town in Cullman County, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Household incomes are close to the county's, and a typical home is valued at a modest sum. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and only a small number of people work from home. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain, along with some melted snow, falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Cullman County, the largest workplaces include Cullman Regional, a general hospital, Cullman County Schools, and REHAU Automotive, which makes plastic automotive parts. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The Duck River runs in or beside town, so water is close at hand. A longer drive brings you to Guntersville Lake, a large reservoir, and to Rickwood Caverns State Park, a protected area known for its cave. Painted Bluff, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive away.
