There is quite a bit of interesting history there - wikipedia it. Some major Civil War shit was organized there. That's the reason we went for the drive out there in the first place.
FUN FACT: There is a massive live oak tree on the front lawn of the old courthouse. A bunch of people got together claiming that it had to be removed because there were hangings/lynchings done there back in the day. The city council came to a vote - unanimously it was denied
