Courthouse Details: Henry County's first superior court met on June 10, 1822 at the house of William Ruff. The county's first courthouse was built in 1823 on the town square of the new settlement of McDonough. This structure burned in 1823, and it is not clear what served as county courthouse for the next seven years. A new brick courthouse was built in the public square in 1831, which served until the current three-story brick courthouse was built in 1897. The new courthouse was built across the street facing the public square, which became a park with a tall Confederate monument erected in the center. The courthouse was restored and renovated in 1980-81. In 2000, construction began on a new annex adjacent to the current courthouse - External Identifiers:
