Montgomery County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Courthouse Square in Mount Vernon, Georgia, the county seat of Montgomery County, Georgia. It was built in 1907 and renovated in 1991–92. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.

The architect who designed the courthouse, Alexander Blair, also designed The Opera House in Macon, GA. The Classic Revival architectural style of the building is impressive and majestic, taking center stage in the quaint small town square setting.  Blair designed six courthouses in Georgia, four of which are on the NRHP list. From the front lawn, you have a view of the main street businesses offering the best of small town dining options and shopping opportunities only footsteps away. (True Blue Market, Bonzell’s Boutique, La Cabana  and Fuzzy’s Restaurants ).

Walking in for a tour of this magnificent structure is an invitation to step back in time. Original balcony, benches and mantels …… beadboard wainscoting around the room and a ceiling of pressed metal divided into nine recessed squares are just a few of the breathtaking reminders of times gone by. 

If you are fortunate enough to be in the area on the hour, you will hear the clock tower chime a musical score that will ring a nostalgic tug in your heart.  

Whether you are just passing through or one of the local yokals, grab a to-go meal from the local business.  Then,  come enjoy the peaceful setting of small town life at the picnic tables in the courtyard of the square.
