The courthouses of Georgia's 159 counties hold the keys to the
history of individual families and entire communities alike. From
their primary role as the temples of justice for our court system
to their better-known function as the official repository of public
records for significant life events, these buildings anchor many of
Georgia's town squares.
In "Courthouses of Georgia," internationally recognized
photographer Greg Newington captures the prominence and character
of these great structures. His images pay tribute to the
community's investment in preserving historic courthouses for
future generations and celebrate new facilities designed to
accommodate expanded county programs and services, keeping pace
with the state's tremendous growth.
"Courthouses of Georgia" commemorates the centennial anniversary of
Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG), Georgia's
county government association. In his introduction to this lavishly
illustrated book, former Georgia House of Representatives majority
leader Larry Walker shares memories of county courthouses by
legislators, authors, judges, and other notable state figures, and
historian George Justice highlights the proud civic and
architectural heritage of each structure to provide additional
context. Organized by the nine travel regions of Georgia, the book
offers the perfect starting point for touring any of Georgia's
counties and instills an appreciation for historic
preservation.
