Old Court House

In 1680, Governor Andros authorized

the erection of a court house of logs

to cost 5000 pounds of tobacco.

Near this wall was the second building

used from 1740 to 1791, when the county

seat was moved to Georgetown.

The church rented building as a tavern

from 1797 to 1833, when it was razed and

the ground included in the churchyard.

Marker is on 2nd Street, on the left when traveling north.
