A fire tower sits on top of the hill, just off the parkway at the McGlamery Stand site.
In frontier language a stand was an inn or a trading post, sometimes both. Usually located on a well traveled route. Such a place was established on the Old Natchez Trace near here in 1849 by John McGlamery. Although the stand did not outlast the Civil War, the name did. The nearest village is known as McGlamery's Stand.
