	The Fairfax County Courthouse: A Brief History - FCPL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It was in these two courthouses that "gentlemen justices" (men of property and social standing, such as George Washington and George Mason), who had been appointed by the Governor of Virginia, met to carry out all the business of the county.
		Virginia ceded land that was at the time part of Fairfax County, including the town of Alexandria and the Fairfax County courthouse, to be included in the new District of Columbia.
		It thus became necessary to build a new courthouse for Fairfax County, and the General Assembly specified that it be located closer to the center of the county.

	Appomattox Court House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many towns in Virginia are county seats whose names are formed by adding the two words "court house" to the name of the county.
		Ironically, because the First Battle of Bull Run, fought on July 21, 1861, took place on the McLean farm farther north in Virginia, it can be said that the Civil War started in McLean's backyard in 1861 and ended in his parlor in 1865 (neither event, however, marked the true beginning or ending of hostilities).
		McLean was a retired major in the Virginia militia, but was too old to enlist at the outbreak of the Civil War and decided to move to Appomattox Court House in order to get away from the Civil War.

	Two Historic Courthouses Of Virginia
		A frequent visitor to the Williamsburg Courthouse was the brilliant lawyer Patrick Henry, whose reputation as an orator was made long before he delivered his " Give me Liberty or Give me Death " speech at St. John's Church, Richmond.
		Some years before the Williamsburg Courthouse was erected, this orator made his first public speech, at Han-over Courthouse, a building that dates from 1735, in the celebrated suit of the clergy demanding the payment of their stipends in tobacco, according to law.
		In con-sequence of a short crop the price had increased, and they insisted that it was their right to have the advantage of the increase.

		Since Virginia has decided to send the snipers to Maryland (like they had to think about it), I would like to warn the lawyers and court personnel who frequent whatever courthouse will be doomed to hold the trials: it sucks having the sniper trials at your courthouse.
		News trucks, cables, satellite uplinks, new deputies, new metal detectors, closed wings of the courthouse and huge cement potted plants in front of the courthouse doors to prevent car bombs are just some of the things that will probably disrupt your normal courthouse routines.
		One of the worst things about the sniper trial in the Virginia Beach courthouse was this huge, makeshit plywood and 2x4 tunnel that was built right down the middle of the main Circuit Court hallway.

	The Gloucester Courthouse Tokens: Introduction
		It is known that a Christopher Righault purchased land at Craney Creek near the Gloucester Courthouse in 1654 and obtained additional lands in 1668.
		The legend "Gloucester Courthouse Virginia" may not refer specifically to the courthouse but to the location, as many southern rural areas were named by the closest landmark including courthouses (as the village of Appomattox Courthouse).
		Thus, the building on the obverse may be a courthouse or possibly some other structure as a business (possibly in a home) or less likely a warehouse (a warehouse would not usually have large windows and a small front door).
