"Great place to explore the history of the community during the civil war era. Great scenic mountain view. Lots of buildings of the era."
"Went up here to test out some amateur radio equipment and had a blast. Awesome view!"
"I used to serve on the board here. Tons of information on the local areas history as well as the civil war. This was the original site of what is now the University of North Alabama. Lagrange was the first chartered college in the state of Alabama, it later became a military college before being burned to the ground by General Cornin's Burning Angels. Be sure to visit the cemetery on up the road. The original charter members of the Historical Association worked very hard to reclaim it. It features a very large tombstone carved from solid marble for Mr. Ricks."
