Albemarle County Judge

Albemarle County Courthouse -- The center of village activity in Colonial days, the courthouse in the historic downtown area features a facade and portico dating from the Civil War. There's no tour, but you can glance at Jefferson's will in the County Office Building. It's easy to imagine Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe talking politics under the lawn's huge shade trees.

A piece of working history

The court house is not just beautiful to look at from the outside: if you're there during the day, stop in--you'll have to empty your pockets for a security search--and go in and sit down. Inside it maintains the classic simplicity of the 19th century. And to baffle the constitutionalists, it's where Jefferson went for religious services. Around the park...

Why visit this

boring-just an old brick building in a boring square of other brick buildings with nothing interesting except maybe somebody or other might have walked here or most likely nearby-maybe

How much our ideas of justice have changed since Mr Jefferson's day

Mr Jefferson would be appalled to see how Liberties have been trampled on right in his own backyard!

Not to be missed while in Charlottesville. The building is a treasure and so well preserved.
