Courthouses served as centers for local communities. People conducted business, interacted with the government, and observed trials and punishments. After a short exploration of the Courthouse and its surroundings, participate in a local court session where lives, liberties, and property are contested. Take on the role of justice, attorney, litigant, petitioner, or defendant and experience how the rights of Virginians were maintained in open court. Adult subject matter. TEST
