I had never been inside an old county courtroom before, so I walked into this one to look around. Court was not in session, so I sauntered right in and talked with a few public employees that were in it. Outside, the courthouse is "guarded" by a Doughboy statue in memory of those lives lost during the Great War, and to his left is a large clock which looks kind of neat. Would recommend a stop by if in Romney or passing through on US Route 50. Cheers.
