Eutaw
Stop for the historic downtown courthouse square if you are already on I-20/59; confirm any event dates before you detour, and treat it as a 1–2 h break, not a base.
Eutaw is a small town in Greene County, Alabama, on the I-20/59 corridor between Tuscaloosa and Meridian. Its draw is the historic downtown around the courthouse square, which suits a short leg-stretch stop rather than a stay. Confirm event dates locally before planning around them.
