LaGrange Mountain is the site of the first chartered college in Alabama, which opened in 1830. Union soldiers who passed through the Shoals destroyed the college during the Civil War. Remnants of the college remain.

The college was moved to Florence where it operates today as the University of North Alabama.

The LaGrange College site features an antebellum cemetery and is dedicated to recreating life on LaGrange Mountain during that period. The park features a log cabin museum, country store and a bed and breakfast inn and other period structures.
