Hale

Hale County is home to Moundville Archaeological Park, which preserves the site of one of the largest prehistoric Native American settlements in the nation. The historic district in Greensboro, the county seat, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and includes nearly 150 structures. The Greek Revival style mansion Magnolia Grove, built in 1840, was the birthplace of Spanish-American War hero Richmond Pearson Hobson. The Oakmulgee District of the Talladega National Forest encompasses portions of Hale County, including Payne Lake and its hiking and camping opportunities.
