Marshall County, TN Courthouse - Lewisburg, TN
In 1825, citizens from Bedford, Lincoln, Giles, and Maury Counties petitioned the General Assembly of Tennessee to form a new county from portions of the four mentioned.  These citizens argued that their respective courthouses were too far away for convenience.  It was not, however, until February 20, 1836 that the Tennessee Legislature actually acted upon the petition.  The new county took the name Marshall after the noted American jurist, John Marshall, former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Though communities were already established at Belfast, Chapel Hill, Farmington, and Cornersville, the town of Lewisburg was formed specifically to be the county seat.  County business was first transacted in the courthouse, which was located in the center of the town square.  The current courthouse is the third one and was erected in 1929.  Architects were Hart, Freeland &amp; Roberts and construction was completed by Contractor Martin &amp; Warlick.  Renovations to the courthouse in 1974 and in 1998 indicate its value to the taxpayers.
