This is an antebellum courthouse built in 1834 by one of Thomas Jefferson's workman at the University of Virginia. It continues to serve Rappahannock County. The historic Town of Washington, founded in 1799, serves as the county seat and is home to the five-star, five-diamond The Inn at Little Washington, America’s most celebrated country inn and restaurant.
