Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett County, Georgia, named in honor of Captain James Lawrence, a naval commander during the War of 1812. Lawrence, a native of New Jersey, is probably best known today for his dying command, "Don’t give up the ship!"

Open ~1961-~1985? Can anyone verify the exact dates?

I know for sure it was open in 1967.
