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.  

One of the oldest houses in Perry County, Tennessee, the James Dickson House, built in 1819, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.  According to local history, the first county court of Perry County met here the first Monday in January 1820, following the creation of the county by the Tennessee General Assembly late in 1819. 

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.

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.

Pinckney's Tomb is considered to be the largest grave house in Tennessee.  The grave house is a limestone and wood structure that covders the burial site of a local farmer, Pinckney Hufstedler, and members of his family.  It was originally built as a graveyard for about 10 to 12 burials, surrounded by a wall of cut stone almost 5 feet high.  Wooden walls and a roof were added because of Pinckney Hufstedler's fears that water could get into his tomb. 

Linden is actually the fourth seat of government for Perry County.  When the county was organized in 1819, it included what is now Decatur County on the western side of the Tennessee. The first court met at the home of James Dixon on Lick Creek, and then a site was chosen on the river for the county seat and named it “Perryville.” After the lands west of the river were ceded to Decatur County in 1846, the small settlement of Harrisburg, a few miles south of Linden, was made the new county seat. Two years later, county residents voted to move the county government to Linden.
