Step into the setting of "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Restored to its 1930s appearance, our courtroom is the model for Harper Lee’s fictional courtroom settings in "To Kill a Mockingbird". It’s now one of the most recognized courtrooms in America because of the popular film version of the book. Although the movie was not filmed here, the set designer came to Monroeville to measure, photograph and draw the courtroom before recreating it on a Hollywood sound stage. Today, fans of the classic novel come to the courthouse from all over the world because it is the most tangible connection to the book’s fictional Maycomb. Visitors are free to move throughout the courtroom, including the balcony, witness chair, judge’s bench and tables used by the prosecutor and defense attorney. Throughout her childhood, Harper Lee often sat in the balcony as she watched her father practice law in this very room.

The original plans called for a tower 140 feet tall, but for some unknown reason the tower measures only 124 feet, 4 inches. The bell rings out every hour of the day.

The present building is the third Courthouse in Bell County built on the same site. The first such building being a two room log cabin built in 1851 soon after the creation of the County in 1850. The second such structure was built in 1858 and torn down to make way for the third Courthouse.
The Bell County Courthouse designed in the Renaissance Revival style was truly a magnificent structure in 1884. This structure, which was built before the current state capital, is one of Texas' finest courthouses in a collection of outstanding public buildings. However, like many of the prominent Texas courthouses, federally funded renovation projects of the 1930's and 1950's had a detrimental impact on the building. The clock tower and much of the rich roof details were removed, the historic interior was modernized and radically altered.
The present Commissioners Court began the process of a complete restoration of the Bell County Courthouse. The restoration began in August 1998 and the interior renovation was completed in November 1999. The statue, dome, and clock tower were replaced with replicas in December 1999, returning the Courthouse to near its original beauty. The Courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Buildings and on the State Archeological Site Register.
At the present time there is a lot of controversy over the confederate statue you see on this side of the courthouse. It has been there 101 years. The NAACP wants it removed.

Tucker, GA was created from the old Georgia Militia District named, Browning District #572. The militia districts were created in 1824 and there were originally 16 militia districts in DeKalb County. Our own, Browning Courthouse was a civil court, where a Justice of the Peace would be present on the third Saturday of each month. It was also used as a community meeting place. From current research, the small courthouse is the only example in the county of a militia district courthouse while other militia districts held court in homes or shops within the county.
Today, Browning Courthouse is used as a small museum which has been furnished as it might have been in the 1800's and has a display of copies of some of the court records dating back to the early 1800's.
