"Normally the courthouse itself isn't one of the more interesting stories in a county. But it is for Wayne County.
"In 1972 the old courthouse burned. Originally, Wayne County officials were going to move the courthouse away from the Waynesboro town square. But by the time the Nashville architectural firm, Yearwood and Johnson, had come back with a rather unusual modern design, the decision had been made to rebuild on the site of the old courthouse.
"Today people who drive through Waynesboro do a double-take when they see the reinforced concrete courthouse." ~ TN History for Kids
