| Queenstown's Historical Colonial Court House
Queenstown's Courthouse is like stepping
through a portal in time. Much of your surroundings are
original, such as the horizontal oak wall sheathing and
some of the weatherboarding on the end walls. The flooring,
originally a typical earth floor, was later updated to
wood. The frame structure dates to 1708 and the brick
section was added between 1820 and 1840, well after the
1782 transfer of the county seat to Centreville.
