Decided to check out downtown Georgetown today. The fellow at the information center told us the town was named after a man named George ... you couldn't have guessed that could you. George Washington Glassock, Jr. donated the land for the town. The downtown area isn't very big but it's cute. We stopped for lunch at a bistro on the square and enjoyed local artists works on the walls.
The court house is in the middle of the square and is very majestic with it's domed roof.
There were many interesting statues around the square, a huge scorpion, a preying mantis, mules being watered and this lady on a bench.
The church was built in the late 1881 and is in it's third location. These days it mostly used for weddings. The Palace Theater was built in 1925.
