Prince George County Courthouse

PB040825

On the drive back to Chapel Hill from Williamsburg I passed the Prince George County Courthouse.  This is the post-Civil War Courthouse (they have a new one now).  The antebellum courthouse was burned during the War.  That explains a lot about why there are no court records from Prince George County — so we'll never know a lot of the details of the prosecutions in the wake of the Nat Turner rebellion.
