Square is Hip

photo The view from downtown Fayetteville.

Fayetteville and Kelso are located in Lincoln County, located along the Southern border of the state due west of Hamilton County. Today, the Fayetteville courthouse square is still a vibrant part of the town and features one of the largest fabric stores in the Southeast (Sir’s also does a booming Internet business) and a movie theater built in 1951.

BEST THING TO DO:

It’s hip to be square in Fayetteville.

•The square in Fayetteville was the second county seat in the United States to be laid out by legal mandate with a courthouse serving as its center. It is part of daily life and the place where people gather for special events.

•The Lincoln Theatre on the square shows two first-run movies each week.
