This stone monument is located on the lawn in front of the Covington County Courthouse. The words tell the story of the monument.
"Old courthouse clock bell from 1897 to 1917
has been donated to Covington County
this Bicentennial year 1976
by H. Speller Moates and family.
Dedicated to the early settlers of Covington County
Erected in the honor of
the Bicentennial of the United States of America
by the Andalusia Bicentennial Committee
with donations from citizens of Covington County."
Following those words is a list of names of the county commissioners and those on the bicentennial committee. Unfortunately, there is no information on the web to fill in the story of the placing of this monument. It does have the emblem and says it was placed in honor of the Bicentennial celebration.
Parking is located in front of the courthouse and around the square.
