Macon County, TN Courthouse - Lafayette, TN
Macon County was formed in 1842 from parts of Smith and Sumner counties.  It was named in honor of the late Revolutionary War veteran and United States Senator, Nathaniel Macon.  The county seat was named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and military officer who fought for the United States in the American Revolutionary War.

The Macon County Courthouse, located in Lafayette, TN, was built in 1932 after a fire destroyed the previous one.  Architect George D. Waller designed the courthouse and construction was completed by Contractor E. Tate &amp; Son.
