Cannot attest to the level of justice given or the fairness of the judges inside the courtroom, but looked cool on the outside. The Confederate dead memorial which used to be on the grounds was moved in the middle of the street, not sure why, but it has all the names of those who perished from Essex County in the War Between the States. On the grounds, there is another stone marker for the USS Tappahannock which was cool, as well as some old trees. Neat spot, historical, with a stop if passing through, cheers.
We were learning about the history of the area and came upon a pamphlet that said the courthouse had one of the largest portrait collections. We asked the officer inside if we could see and he gladly took us into the courtroom. court was not in session that day so you will have to plan accordingly Then he also took us into the archives where they house an artifact called a "mad stone". Allegedly it cures various aliaments and they had several newspaper articles on it. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I recommend others interested in history to check it out!
Very helpful in most cases. I would suggest changing the website & door hours though.. it states 4:30, but it's really 4:15 I arrived at 420.. relized I didn't have a form went to go get it.. asked officer closing time was told 430.. checked site 430.. Found form.. rushed back.. door locked 424.. sign says "Call if door is locked" real sweet lady answer phone... I'm out here.. door locked.. oh sir we stop serving at 415.. but it says 430 sir sir...click.. I called back to apologize and was told she didn't appreciate me hanging up on her then she did same to me. I called a 3rd time.. she then accepted my apology and we parted ways.. I guess I'll forgive her. We have to remember 2 wrongs don't make a right.
Quick Service
Excellent People!
