The Bromley Hotel, also known as the residence of Dr. Richard Calvin Bromley, was built in 1909-1911 as a full service hotel for visiting tourists and others.  It also served as his private residence and medical office.  His wife, Ardilla (Fluty) Bromley, operated a millinery shop on the second floor.  Located in the Flatwoods area, this structure is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Battle of Beardstown, depicted in a mural painted in 2009 by Sonny Davis, stretched almost the entire way from Lobelville to Centerville, occupying the land where the Lobelville Golf Course now sits, giving it the nickname "The Running Battle to Centerville."  Robert D. Anderson was a captain under command of General Forrest. There his men teamed up with Colonel Jacob Biffle, and help force the federal troops to Centerville.

Many people still like to do their research the old fashioned way, by hand or, rather, in person.  Best place to start is the Perry County Historical Society, located in the main branch of the Perry County Library, in Linden, Tennessee.  Records have been transferred to microfiche and a reader is available to aid researchers.

Built in 1832, the Cedar Grove Iron Furnace was operational until early February 1862, when the fall of Fort Henry opened the Tennessee River to Flag-Officer Andrew H. Foote’s muddy water fleet. One or more of these Federal gunboats lobbed cannonballs almost two miles from the river toward the vicinity of the furnace.

The 110-acre Craig Farm was purchased by freed slaves Tapp and Amy Craig in 1871.  In the six years between the end of the Civil War and 1871, Tapp Craig, of African American, Anglo, and American Indian ancestry, and his wife, Amy, also of mixed ancestry, continued to work on the Guthrie Farm and traded a yoke of oxen for the $150 down payment to purchase the 110-acre tract of land from Samuel Young on 25 December 1871.

As part of a project to preserve the history of Lobelville, a video was created from a slideshow made by Mr. Hugh Fisher, who would present his narrated slideshow to school children in the Lobelville schools.  This video was created in 2007 by the Perry County Historical Society in conjunction with PatVB Web Design and the City of Lobelville.
