Understand
Established in 1832 as the seat of Clarke County, Grove Hill was named for a grove of oak trees on the surrounding plateau. The whole Southern hospitality is something the local population has down pat here, so don't be too surprised if you get a Yankee comment when you show up in your Ivy League t-shirt.

Housed in the Alston-Cobb House, which is noteworthy in itself for being one of the few remaining Greek Revival I-houses, it showcases such things as fossils and Civil War memorabilia, in addition to some interesting structures on the surrounding property, like a corn crib and a type of settler's cabin known as a dogtrot house.
Sleep
Accommodations in Grove Hill are really quite rustic; you'd do better to stay in Thomasville or somewhere else.
