I saw a lawyer come in dressed in something that she should have worn at a club though. Even another attorney joked with her about it and she just laughed it off and said she didn't have time to iron. The city itself isn't too bad. I don't think I've come across anyone yet that was ever rude or not helpful. And the area is spread apart just enough - right down the street is Alabama side so you also have to watch what side you're on if you're trying to locate something.

There was a decent amount of outdoor walking required to go through the exhibits. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just recommend either bringing a drink or visiting when the weather is cooler. During the walk we encountered a friendly dragonfly, which made it worth it. The village seemed to be understaffed, because only half of the buildings had guides to show us around. For the deserted buildings, we had to guess what things did what. The place we assumed to be the woodcarvers shop looked like there would normally be a staff person there, but their station was empty. this concerned me because we had smaller children in our party, and some of the sharp carving tools were left on the tables. Other than that, staff that were present gave wonderful demonstrations of the profession they represented. Most notably, the weaver and the blacksmith. The weaver walked us through the whole process from the cleaning of cotton to sewing the final fabrics together into clothing. The blacksmith worked in a functional smithery and showed us how they created a metal hook using actual fire and metal tools.

WOW! The Coweta…read moreCounty Courthouse was built in 1904, (Neo-Greek Revial architecture), and is the crown jewel that sits at the center of the square in historic downtown Newnan, GA. It features a clock with chimes that chime every hour and half hour. It is absolutely beautiful as it has been exquisitely restored to its former beauty. Renovations occurred over a number of years beginning in 1974 and then again in 1989 and finally in 2010. I find it interesting that this building was not added to registry of historic places until 1980. What took so long? Everything from the door handles to the dual staircases, to the original furnishings and fixtures were impressive. We were able to go into the courtroom and the grand jury room. For some reason, when I entered the courtroom I immediately thought of the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" probably because of the extensive courtroom scenes. Both rooms were stunning and just WOW! You are allowed to take photos of the rooms but you are not allowed to enter the judge's area which is restricted by a barrier. Cases are no longer heard at this location which is now used for administrative business. Surrounding the courthouse you will find historical monuments and markers that commemorate significant Civil War events and heroes, Veterans of foreign wars and community volunteers. If you want to see them in all their glory, you will need to visit when there are no scheduled activities on the square. Due to "Market Days" activities, there were several vendors set up on the square thus blocking those precious monuments. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OKay I am over it because the good news is that the monuments are two-sided so if you walk behind the vendor stations, you will still be able to read the markers. Unfortunately this does not apply to the monuments. I really wanted to see the courthouse in full view but was unable to do so on this visit which means that I will have to return for a re-do. Don't forget to check out the Visitor's Center located on the lower level of the courthouse.

I have received several jury summonses in my life, but this was the first time that I actually…read morereported to the courthouse. In the past I've always had reasons to be excused...full time student or moved out of state. I've always heard people complain about jury duty, but I don't think it was that bad. The people at this courthouse make things as painless as possible. I felt that the judges and staff were all pretty amiable and understood that the whole ordeal was an inconvenience to most people. The jury assembly room had padded chairs. I was pretty comfortable waiting in one for about an hour and fifteen minutes. They went through roll call, explained the process, asked if anyone had a legitimate reason they couldn't serve this week, and finally divided us into panels of about 40 people each. The first group of potential jurors had to meet in the courthouse that morning. I was part of the second group, so I had to come back at 2 PM for the voir dire. I left before I heard what the last group was instructed to do. When I returned in the afternoon, I waited outside of the assigned courtroom until someone instructed us to line up in some predetermined order. We filed into the courtroom and took our seats opposite the attorneys for both the prosecution and defense. I was a little surprised to see the defendant in the courtroom, but I didn't know what to expect. After the judge came in and spoke, all of the potential jurors stood up and announced their name, the city they lived in, their occupation, and their spouse's occupation. Next, the attorney's asked various questions to determine if anyone was biased. After a little over an hour of sitting in the courtroom we were all dismissed for 15 minutes while the two teams discussed the prospective jurors and made their decisions. After the 15 minutes, we reentered the courtroom and found out which 12 (plus 2 alternate) individuals were lucky enough to serve as jury members. I didn't get selected and now I don't have to worry about getting summoned for jury duty from the superior court for two years.

Dont let them fool you when they say they have great schools. Take it from me. I went to a Bibb county school and got transferred to Houston county. Houston County Georgia CHEATS on their testing !! That's why their testing scores are so high. I received a study packet from my teachers to study for the big end of the year test. Come test time I noticed ALL of the questions on the test were the exact same ones they put on my study guide. Which I believe they are NOT permitted to open the testing packets until the day of testing. All they care about is football, and it most defiantly shows to the students. I've had enough of Houston County's bullshit. Aside of their shitty school systems. I believe GBI needs to investigate because they are doing many people wrong!!!!!!!
