Courthouse Tours and Talks occur throughout the day Saturday. Take the opportunity to visit "the People's Palace". Despite being over 100 years old, Washington County's courthouse remains one of western Pennsylvania's architectural gems with a past to match its grandiose design. Tours, provided by the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, start outside and take you through some of the beautiful interiors as you dive into the architecture and history of the structure and the county. Additionally, there are courtroom tours.
