The Hanging Tree

 
At the junction of the Pea River and the Choctahatchee River is the largest oak tree many have seen. It sits alone on about a half acre, but plenty of others are on it's outskirts.  With the original town of Geneva nearby, many were hauled from the jail and hung from this very tree.  This  tree stood here when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Enterprise Museum

 
The museum is located behind the Rawls Hotel along the train tracks.  It is the old train station for the city of Enterprise.  Admission is $1.00 and is a great way to spend an hour or two looking at some of the antiques donated by families and businesses from the Enterprise area.

The Rawls Hotel

 

Unusual occurrences are not uncommon in the historic Rawls hotel. Children’s laughter has been heard by those working on the third floor, and even outside the bathroom down in the restaurant  when there have been no children around.

Hayden Pursley spent three years restoring the historic hotel and had several stories he often told  to include seeing a girl around the age of 12 running down the halls.
