TOWN OF HILLSVILLE
Home to the Carroll County Historical Society and Museum, the historic courthouse was built in 1873 and is the site of the infamous “1912 Courthouse Tragedy.” https://carrollvamuseum.org/museum/courthouse-tragedy/ ”Thunder in the Hills”–historic drama by playwright Frank Levering–is performed each spring in the very courtroom where the tragedy happened more than a century ago.
The museum is on the lower level–tours are available. Check the website for current hours and days of operation. Admission is free.
