Lamar Attractions

HISTORIC HOUSES & BUILDINGS OF LAMAR
Lamar continues to honor the past by preserving many of the historic buildings for the future.  Many of the historic sites can be visited on the Lamar Driving Tour (outside viewing only, please).  For example, visitors can see the DuBose House, built in the 1800’s by Captain George Mims, or the Windham House, which was built  before the Civil War and is surrounded by 100 year old oak trees.

PARNELL PARK
One of the best spots in town for a picnic.  The land for the park was given by Mrs. Florence A. Colclough to the Althea Garden Club to be used as a tribute to those who served in WWII. The park was officially dedicated on October 18, 1945.

GOVERNOR’S RUN GOLF COURSE
Named in honor of Lamar-native Governor David Beasely, this challenging 18-hole championship golf course is a golfer's delight.

THE EGG & I
Established in 1957 by Rivers and Levern Scarborough, it is the largest family-owned egg farm in the state. When in full capacity, it contains 212,000 chickens, which produce 156 million eggs per year. 

COUNTRY CATERING OF LAMAR
Established in 1979, this twenty year old restaurant and catering business serves true southern cuisine in an informal buffet atmosphere. The restaurant is located in a beautiful country home filled with antiques and a hand-carved bank teller’s window from the old Bank of Lamar. Guests sit at family-style tables.
