Henry County Courthouse
This Courthouse was designed by Reuben Harrison Hunt of Chattanooga and built by Ed M. Wallen of New Decatur, Alabama, in 1896. It is the third Courthouse on this site and is one of West Tennessee oldest working Courthouses. The Murder Case Grainger v. State (1830) originated on this site and set precedent for self - defense as a basis for appeal. Confederate military units, including the Paris Blues, 5th Tennessee Infantry and 46th Tennessee Infantry regiments, were organized on the lawn.
