Hawkes Library

100 West 8^th Street, West Point, GA – This building was built in 1922.  A stone marker on the front lawn commemorates the 1886 visit of Winnie Davis to West Point, where she was first called “The Daughter of the Confederacy”.  The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Old Freight Depot

Constructed in 1887, this building was used for freight storage and is located close to the Alabama state line.  Until 1886, Alabama and Georgia had different gauge railroad tracks, so it was necessary for trains to stop here and transfer all passengers, baggage, and freight to a different train.  Many famous people had to stay in West Point including President Jefferson Davis.  Efforts are underway to turn the building into a museum and community center.
