The historic Gachet home stands at the crossing of Towns and old Alabama Roads, called Milner Cross Roads, on a route that was also an Indian trail. Benjamin Gachet, a French nobleman, fled the San Domingo revolution and settled in what is now Lamar County. On March 19th, 1825, during his official visit to Georgia, General Marquis de LaFayette spent the night at the Gachet home, where the noted Frenchman was warmly welcomed as both a patriot and a visitor from France.
