Tour the Old Courthouse
This is another great attraction for the history lovers in your group. Two pivotal trials that marked the beginning of the long battle for civil rights took place at this remarkable landmark. Your students will have the opportunity to visit the restored courtrooms where these cases took place and learn about the judicial system of the 19th century.
They’ll reflect on how much things have changed in our country since the 19th century, and leave with a much deeper understanding of the importance of the Civil Rights movement.
