Beautiful morning at the Old Marengo County Courthouse!

We have big plans for the courthouse still and are working behind the scenes nearly every day. Our next fundraiser rummage sale is July 11, 2026 from 9 AM to 4 PM at the courthouse. Still accepting donations for the sale, contact any board member if you need assistance, thanks!

Glad this was done! Linden Historical was in the process of trying to help set aside a day that people could come and have their photographs made in front of the school before it was torn down. I’m glad this group did it!  We did not officially coordinate any day with the school, if any other groups would like to do this, please speak with the school and I feel sure they would allow anyone to have photos made. 

If not mistaken the old building is 100 years old this year. We are sad to see it go, but we have a brand new beautiful building right behind it.

In my life all I have ever known of the metal railing on the upper floor of the old courthouse was just that, modern, metal railing. Quite a few years ago after discovering archival photos online I learned that the original railing was indeed wood, with a lot more spindles in each span. The photos shared today show the original first, the metal railing through the years, then the restoration of the original wooden railing accomplished today. I think the replacing of the original gives the building a much more authentic appearance and we are so pleased with the outcome of today’s progress. We overwhelmingly thank the Lathan Company of Mobile and their fine attention to detail.

Also, we thank everyone who has supported us from the bottom of our hearts. We are looking forward to continuing with the restoration of Linden‘s grand historical structure.
