I have to make time to visit there sometime. I have never been. The town of Granbury, Texas where I live has a nicely preserved old town square. Almost all of the buildings on the square, including the courthouse, have a state of Texas Historical marker on them. The whole town square is (or was at one time) the only complete historical town square in the National Register of Historical Places. The old buildings have been repaired and restored and contain several shops, hotels, restaurants and live entertainment theaters and plays now. With Lake Granbury a couple of blocks away, it is a large tourist draw for this part of the country. General Hiram Granbury, the Southern Civil War General who was killed at the battle of Franklin, Tenn is buried there, as is Elizabeth Crockett, wife of Davy Crocket who was killed defending the Alamo. Elizabeth Crockett and her son were awarded several acres of land in Hood County, near Granbury, for his sacrifice at the Alamo. There is lots of History in the area. I would expect Kosciusko would be an interesting place to visit for us that had past family living around there. For a 7th grade Texas History project, my son, who is a freshman in college this year, Documented all the Texas Historical Markers in Hood County (named for Civil war General John Bell Hood) We copied the text from the markers and used photos that I took at each location and made a Powerpoint presentation. He received an A+ on it. I will forward it to anyone that might be interested.

Cummins Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 10:29 AM To: msattala@rootsweb.com Subject: [MSATTALA] Historical Genealogy Having knowledge of a popular eatery, "The Rib Alley"(Owner/Mgr, my cuz by the way). situated on Kosciusko's historical square. I became aware of a wealth of historical knowledge while dinning on their famous "Baby-Back Ribs". You can see most of the old buildings that line the square and get a clear view of the 1894 red brick Court House, the civil war statue and of course and the original red clay bricks that once lined most the narrow streets in Attala County. Just a few blocks to the east of the Rib Alley Restaurant is an excellent source family genealogy, the Regional Library on Jefferson Street. Most days Mom-Sat a clerk will be available assist in your quest. So if your dining out, doing family research or both. You won't be disappointed on first or next visit to Attala County. --- On Fri, 9/25/09, msattala-request@rootsweb.com <msattala-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > From: msattala-request@rootsweb.com <msattala-request@rootsweb.com> > Subject: MSATTALA Digest, Vol 4, Issue 50 > To: msattala@rootsweb.com > Date: Friday, September 25, 2009, 3:00 AM > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
