Overview

In the center of Charlestown on Memorial Square is a large stone building that houses the courts and the public library. Built in 1825, it was restored after a fire hit the town about 50 years later. The most notable part of the building is a clock tower that was added in the early 20th century. The building is often open for visitors during the day, and people can go in when court is in session but one must be dressed properly and clothes must not be sleeveless.
