    All those stairs!!!! They just call to be climbed!! It's a 55 ft elevation gain…read more It's very pretty from the bottom and from the top of the stairs. Take a moment to notice the Mountain View's. It's just lovely. Don't want to climb those stairs? Don't worry you can get to the Library and Courthouse by car.

    The old Court House has been completely renovated and it now is the home of the Jackson County…read morePublic Library. It is better than before and you can find books, museum displays of the local community and of the Cherokee Nation. There is an amazing overhead light that is really incredible. Stained glass window of the different aspects of the Mountain Culture and the flora and fauna found there. there's many different views of the town of Sylva from all directions from the terraces, they also offer outside sitting areas with benches and rockers if the weather allow and if you are lucky, you can watch a train go by. Around in the front a person who is froggy enough they can either climb up to the Courthouse or down the stairs leading to the Main Street in SYLVA. Please don't rush, the steps are many and pace yourself so you're not going to slip and fall. Highly recommended for everyone who comes in to visit and for all the locals to go and see what a beautiful Library it is. The staff are very welcome to all who enter, they have a wealth of information about the facility and the many things to do in the community and neighboring towns. They also have larger rooms that can be rented out for a reasonable price. In the back of the building is a really beautiful statue of a small girl lying down reading a book. I found this to be very fascinating and have taken several pictures of it. Please remember, show respect for the statues and of the building itself. This is a priceless asset which the staff of the Library and the citizens of Sylva is very proud of and they are very special for sharing it with the Community and it's visitor's. Enjoy.

    This historic courthouse is one of six sites in all of Cherokee County listed on the National…read moreHistoric Register. (I think for a county with about 212,000 people having 6 NHR site is quite impressive) The other five includes: Alfred W. R House Crescent Farm: Edgewater Hall and the Rock Barn https://www.yelp.com/biz/rock-barn-canton?hrid=VQhh7jBjba90EElGVh-FVw&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) Canton WholeSale Company Canton Cotton Mill #2 Woodstock Depot According to The Cherokee County Historical Society's website...this is a five story classical revival built by prominent architect A. Ten Eyck Brown who also built The Fulton County Courthouse in Atlanta, GA. It's one of few surviving buildings in Georgia that was built using marble from the area. (I believe the marble is from Tate, Ga) If you look up you can see four eagles above the column thingies and they were sculpted by two local sculptures David A.H. Couche and B. Maloni. It's an impressive structure with it's gleaming white marble and it's formidable presence. I almost expect a bunch of men walking out of in white robes speaking Latin....it looks like it belongs in Athens, Greece... It's located in downtown historic Canton not far from the Historic Canton Cannon Park. Next to the courthouse is the Cherokee Justice Center as well as the superior court. It now houses the Cherokee County History museum and visitor center. It a pretty cool building to check out for a photo opt. If you're ever in the area.

    In 1773, the Cherokee Indians conceded to the Colonial Government of Georgia a large tract of…read moreterritory whose western border comprised what is now Madison County. The Georgia Legislature established the county in 1811, combining pieces of Clarke, Elbert, Franklin, Jackson, and Oglethorpe counties. It is the 38th county in the state and was named after James Madison, the nation's fourth president. This is the county seat in Danielsville. The courthouse was erected in 1901 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It has a cruciform design, comparable to the Twiggs County Courthouse (1902-04) and the Clayton County Courthouse. It was designed by architect J.W. Golucke, whose name appears on dozens of Georgia courthouses, including Baker County, Meriwether County, Schley County, and Worth County, as well as the Fitzpatrick Hotel in Washington and the Secondary Industrial School in Columbus. This is Danielsville's third courthouse, replacing a frame courthouse that had previously replaced a wooden courthouse. The courthouse was renovated in 1983, but a lack of space forced county officials to relocate to a new courthouse in 1996. The roof was restored in 1999-2000, although the structure has remained vacant since 1996. The courthouse square includes a statue of Dr. Crawford Long, who was born in Danielsville in 1815. There's also what appears to be a previous ship-mounted gun with no label, possibly a five-inch. [Review 218 of 2025 - 788 in Georgia - 23782 overall]
