2. Court Square

DOWNTOWN.   Historic Court Square, which actually predates much of the Main Street area, was once the hub of all political, social, and economic activity in the town of Charlottesville. In its heyday, Court Square was home to everything from a tavern to mercantile shops to residences. Although much of the town's activity has moved to the Downtown Mall, Court Square is worth visiting for its historical charm, stately courthouse, and red brick law offices. Saturday morning walking tours offered by the Albemarle Historical Society (April-October) The tours begin at 10:00 am and last for approximately one hour. A suggested $5.00 donation is appreciated. Call the Historical Society at (434) 296-1492 for more information.   (© 10Best)
