Plans are set for the Henderson County Courthouse Centennial Celebration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 17.
“I think it is going to be a good day for people to come out and revisit the Courthouse,” County Judge Richard Sanders said. “Some people probably haven’t in a while and see what’s happening in the center of Henderson County.”
There are lots of activities planned to celebrate the 100th birthday of the courthouse. Activities that will take place throughout the morning include a soap making demonstration, spinning wheel demonstration, Quilt displays, historical pictures of Henderson County and the Bacon Chevrolet Stage Coach.
“It’s just going to be a neat day for Henderson County,” Sanders said. “It ought to be a good event for people to learn more about our history and our Courthouse.”
