The front bar was still there when I was there a few years ago. It’s solid rock.

My cousin L. B. Musgrove was one of the 3 arrested at Bangor Cave. I have a copy of the newspaper clipping. He was quite a colorful character. He owned Dauphine Island at one time and gambled it away for collateral for some business on a train ride to New York. His mother, my namesake, Elizabeth Cain Musgrove was a tour de force in Walker County, having organized local UDC & raised the Confederate Statue in the courthouse square of Jasper. Her dealings with the invading Yankees is fascinating too.
