The Old Chatahoochee County Courthouse was built in Cusseta, Georgia in newly created Chattahoochee County in 1854. After it was no longer used and slated for demolition, it was moved to Westville, in Lumpkin, Georgia which is an outside museum depicting life in west Georgia circa 1850. As of July 2016 the Lumpkin location of Westville has been closed and it is being moved (along with Westville) to Columbus, Georgia near the Columbus Public Library in 2018.[2]
It is a wood building, 50x60 feet in size, with four rooms downstairs. It is one of two remaining wooden courthouses in Georgia. (The other is Old Marion County Courthouse.) The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
