==Landmarks==

===Old Stone Bridge===
One of the most famous landmarks of Fayetteville is the remains of the Stone Bridge, commonly known by the locals of Fayetteville as the “Old Stone Bridge”. It was in 1860 that John Markum and Patrick Flannery, the architects and contractors, began the building of the bridge.  Consisting of six arches, the bridge was completed in January 1862 with a final cost of $40,000.  In 1863, during the Civil War, the bridge was ordered burned by General [[William T. Sherman]], but this order was disobeyed because the river was easily forded at the bridge's base. The bridge stood until 1969, when it collapsed due to flooding.
