Old Courthouse, Cumberland County Pennsylvania



This is the Cumberland County Courthouse in Carlisle Pennsylvania, or rather its the Old Courthouse.

The courthouse was built in 1846 and figured in some fugitive slave cases prior to the Civil War.  The courthouse was hit by artillery fire from Stuart's troops prior to their withdrawing towards Gettysburg.

A monument of some sort stands on the courthouse grounds, but I did not get a chance to view it more closely.
