Emberly Zellars and her grandfather John Zellars walk up Camp Hill's South Main Street earlier this year. The street was designated a historic commercial district by the Alabama Historical Commission Thursday.

The Alabama Historical Commission deemed Camp Hill's South Main Street a "historic commercial district" by unanimous vote at its quarterly meeting Thursday, a decision greatly owing to the campaigning of Emberly Zellars.

"This is good for our area," said Zellars, who grew up in Auburn but has a lifelong connection to the town. "Camp Hill will now finally be able to join Dadeville and Alexander City which have had their historic registration for years."
