Courthouse
- Address: North side of Duke of Gloucester St., west of Queen St., Colonial Williamsburg, VA | Map It
- Category: Government Buildings
- Location: Colonial Williamsburg
Fodor's Review:
The original Courthouse of 1770 was used by municipal and county courts until 1932. Civil and minor criminal matters and cases involving slaves were adjudicated here; other trials were conducted at the Capitol. The stocks once used to punish misdemeanors are outside the building: they can make for a humorous photo opportunity. The courthouse's exterior has been restored to its original appearance. Visitors often participate in scheduled reenactments of court sessions.
