Situated on historic White Bluff overlooking the Tombigbee River, Bluff Hall was built in 1832 by slaves of Allen Glover for his daughter, Sarah Serena, and her husband, Francis Strother Lyon. Lawyer and planter F. S. Lyon served in both the Confederate and the United States congresses. Frequent wartime visitors to his house were General Leonidas Polk and General Zachary Deas. Bluff Hall is now owned by the Marengo County Historical Society.
