In a village of just 375 residents covering less than two-tenths of a square mile, the spirit of small-town America was on full display Sunday as the 76th Annual Carbon Hill Homecoming wrapped up five days of celebration with a parade that showcased the community's pride, tradition and patriotism.
Held June 24-28 during the nation's 250th anniversary year, the Carbon Hill Homecoming offered a picture-perfect slice of Americana, drawing residents, former residents and visitors together for one of the community's most cherished traditions.

Once upon a time in Carbon Hill, the corner of 3rd and Lacey showcased Carbon Hill’s hotel with 22 sleeping rooms, a big dining hall, a barbershop and the offices of Big Four coal company and the EJE railroad. This was a bustling center of village activity until 1913 when the hotel burned down.

Carbon Hill’s 75th Homecoming Week will be June 18-22, and this year we will honor long-time residents Allan and Ruth Anne Lilley as our Grand Marshals.
Mr. and Mrs. Lilley join a long list of neighbors who over the years have served the community during homecoming weeks and throughout the years.
The Lilleys live in their neat and tidy home on the north side of Judson Street. Their shady lot is noticed for its cheerful well tended border garden of roses and daylilies set among other annuals and perennials and larger shrubs in the landscape.

     It’s the time of year when motors propelling amusement rides, the call of bingo, the crack of bats and the boom of fireworks will resonate through the village of Carbon Hill.
    The tradition continues as the 69th annual Carbon Hill Homecoming celebration officially gets underway today, Wednesday, June 20.  The event opens at 6 p.m. with a ceremony recognizing the 2018 grand marshals Phil and Karin Kodat, who for decades have provided dedicated service to the village of Carbon Hill and its citizens.
