The Circle is the defining feature of Georgetown — a round public common from which the town radiates outward, lined with 19th-century buildings and anchored by the courthouse. The current brick courthouse dates to 1837 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as is the Circle itself. Standing here gives you a clear sense of what a deliberate, planned county seat looked like in early America.
The surrounding buildings on and near the Circle include several historic homes and commercial buildings from the same era, many also on the National Register. It makes for a pleasant ten-minute walk to take in the historic streetscape.
