Trial By Jury Held at Washington

Historic Washington State Park held their 1840’s version of “Trial by Jury” on the last day of August.  The event is a recreation of an actual trial held at Washington in the 1840’s.  It is held in the 1836 Courthouse in the actual courtroom where the original trial was held.  The audience gets to serve as the jury.  Washington usually offers “Trial by Jury” twice a year.  There is the 1870’s version and another version held later in the 1800’s at the 1874 Courthouse.  For information on the next “Trial by Jury” visit historicwashingtonstatepark.com.
