***Charlotte’s U.S. Presidential connection***
DID YOU KNOW??? - Although U.S. Presidents Andrew Jackson(7th) and James K. Polk(11th) were from Tennessee, they never set foot in our State Capitol building in Nashville. BUT they DID visit Charlotte on multiple occasions and WERE in our old Dickson County Courthouse on Charlotte Square.

The beautiful Maury County Courthouse in Columbia was built long after James K. Polk had died. So he never was in that courthouse in the city where he lived, but he was in OURS.
Polk was also Tennessee Governor before he became President. He’s buried on the grounds of our State Capitol, but never entered the building.

Tennessee’s State Capitol wasn’t completed until 1859. Jackson died in 1845. Polk in 1849.

Jackson and Polk even visited Charlotte Square together in 1844, entertained at a rally for then presidential candidate, James K. Polk.

Yes. You read that right. Two of our early U.S. Presidents visited Charlotte Square together before the year of 1850. Can you imagine what that must have been like?!?! There are no photos because photography had barely begun at that period in time. And Charlotte pretty much WAS Dickson County in that era. The other cities and towns we know of today (Dickson, White Bluff, Burns, Vanleer, Slayden) would not be established until after the Civil War.

Our Historic Dickson County Courthouse on Charlotte Square is BY FAR the most historically significant and important landmark in our county. There is not even a close 2nd place. (Cumberland Furnace would probably be 2nd, but I am unaware of any U.S. Presidents visiting Cumberland Furnace.)

Charlotte history. Dickson County history. Tennessee history. United States history. We have it all here on Charlotte Square in the middle of quaint Charlotte, Tennessee.

Next time you pull out a twenty dollar bill, you can say “Yeah. That guy’s been to our courthouse on Charlotte Square!”

**I told this story to the Tennessee Secretary of State when he called me last week regarding the work being done on our old courthouse. I aimed to emphasize the historic importance of our old courthouse here in Charlotte, Tennessee.**

Pictured is Andrew Jackson above Tennessee’s State Capital; James K. Polk above Maury County Courthouse; and the two Presidents pictured under the historic Dickson County Courthouse in Charlotte. This is how our courthouse would have looked when they visited Charlotte in 1844.
