Old Courthouse Conversion

The 1908 former Rockingham County Courthouse, 1970 courthouse addition, and the 1910 Rockingham County Jail are being converted into the Museum & Archives of Rockingham County (MARC). On April 12, several Rockingham County department heads took a brief tour of the areas being transformed. On Aug. 2, Rockingham County will celebrate the grand opening of the MARC by hosting the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibit, Journey Stories. This exhibit, in addition to local displays about Rockingham County, will offer visitors an opportunity to journey through time with stories and relics of history.
