Charlottesville and Albemarle County Courthouse Historic District links courthouse square with surrounding historic commercial streets.

Explore from public streets and pedestrian areas, using the state heritage description to recognize buildings from different periods. The photograph shows a courthouse-square scene within the larger district. Interior access depends on each building’s current use and arrangements.
