LaGrange College was Alabama’s first state-chartered college in 1830. It later became a military institute and was known as the “West Point of the South.” Union Forces burned the college and the town of LaGrange in 1863. The LaGrange Living Historical Association hosts Recall LaGrange each year, which presents living history events that commemorate the college and town. The free event includes tours of a log cabin village, wagon rides to historic LaGrange Cemetery, music, arts and crafts, and vendors.
