Best things about Fayetteville

Stone Bridge Memorial Park

A stone bridge was built in 1860 but just a few years later William T Sherman ordered it burned. Somehow it escaped total destruction there but was carried away by floodwaters in 1969. You can see a reconstructed version…

Camp Blount Historic State Park

This is where military persons used to muster or meet during the Creek and Seminole Wars and even during the Civil War. There is not much to see, mostly just a sign and a grassy field.

Lincoln County Museum Associates

Lincoln Theater

Catch a movie in this retro theater.

    See

    See Stone Bridge Memorial Park

    A stone bridge was built in 1860 but just a few years later William T Sherman ordered it burned. Somehow it escaped total destruction there but was carried away by floodwaters in 1969. You can see a reconstructed version with its arched design here next to Norris Creek along with some other pioneer buildings like a calaboose.
