"Moved here from Atlanta in 1889, this industry made Florence a household word throughout the South. It was the largest wagon factory in the South, reportedly second largest in the U.S., with 250 employees and annual production of 12,000 wagons. World War I army wagons were made here and sent all over the U.S. and to France. Increasing use of motorized vehicles caused gradual reduction in activity of factory. The firm was liquidated in the 1930's." -Alabama Historical Association marker, 1974.

At this fort, built between 1819 and 1834 and named for Revolutionary War hero Gen. Daniel Morgan, is located a museum which contains military artifacts from the War of 1812 through World War II. Included are a U.S. Model 1918M1 155mm Gun and Model 1918A1 Carriage.  The fort had been converted to a park in 1927, but in 1941 it was reactivated for use by the Army, Navy and Coast Guard. The harbor was protected by artillery placed here, and patrols headquartered here used jeeps and horses to watch the beaches. After World War II it was again used as a park.
