Old Muster Ground and Courthouse
This lot was designated the parade ground in the original survey of the town in 1737. It served as the muster ground for the local militia during colonial and Revolutionary times. The present courthouse, designed by Robert Mills, was built in 1823. The second story burned in 1883 and was repaired. The
courthouse was enlarged in 1901 and remodelled again in 1954.
Marker is on West Main Street (State Highway 261) east of South Jackson Street, on the right when traveling east.
