Description

The Pickensville Stagecoach Inn was constructed about 1820 and located along the Old Columbus Road. It is thought to be the oldest surviving structure in the small town of Pickensville, the former seat of government in Pickens County, and once a thriving city. It had a large boat landing on the Tombigbee River and it was the main port for most of the river commerce in the area. A stagecoach ran twice weekly between Columbus and Tuscaloosa, going through Carrollton, Reform, and Gordo also.
