Back in the 60's and 70's Greenville high school seniors and juniors would engage in "flag rush" a competition to see which class could place home made signs with their gradauating year on them in the highest place in the county. There have been times when a student gained access to the old cupola and managed to hang a sheet that had their graduating year painted on it.
Beautiful old wood inside trimming the walls and ceilings. Wooden staircases that still creak when you climb them. There is still a public restroom in the basement that can be accessed from inside the courthouse as well as from a street entrance on East 4th Street.
