Eastville Courthouse, Eastville, Virginia

The fact about this courthouse is what I would really like to share with you
It contains the oldest continuous court  records in the USA, dating back to 1632



In this picture the large building on the left is the 1899 Courthouse and is now the Northampton County Administration building. The new court house was built in 2006. 

The small courthouse all the way to the right is the 1731 Courthouse, which was moved from where that statue is because the women of Eastville thought it should be saved in 1913.
