Chattahoochee County Courthouse
Westville Georgia

The oldest Georgia courthouse along U.S. 27 is this simple structure built in 1854 for the newly formed Chattahoochee County. Designed by an unknown carpenter/builder, it is the only antebellum wood-frame county courthouse in the state that has not undergone significant change. Among its notable features are entrances on all sides, twin stairways to the second floor courtroom, and original courtroom furnishings.

The building served Chattahoochee County for well over a century before it was replaced by a modern building on the same site. To save the old courthouse from destruction, a group of Georgians moved it in 1975 to Westville. Here, in this living history museum of the 1850's, it stands among other fascinating structures of that period.

To see the present Chattahoochee County Courthouse, travel 20 miles north of Westville to the center of Cusseta.
