Old County Courthouse

The Old County Courthouse (also known as the Plymouth Old County Courthouse or the Old Town House) is an historic court house on Leyden Street and Market Street in the Town Square of Plymouth, Massachusetts.Built in 1749, the two-story wood-frame building is believed to be the oldest wooden courthouse in the United States; it stands on the site of the first courthouse built by Plymouth Colony settlers, and may incorporate elements of a 1670 building.[2] It is five bays wide and three deep, with a center entry flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a gabled pediment.[1] It is now known as the 1749 Court House and Museum, and is open from June to September with exhibits of early Plymouth history.This article about a National Register of Historic Places listing in Plymouth County Massachusetts is a stub.
