The jury box and sheriff's desk in this 1966 view of the Plymouth County Court House show the working core of a courtroom, where jurors sat to hear testimony and a sheriff kept order. Plymouth is the town where English settlers landed in 1620, and Plymouth County was one of the original counties of Massachusetts, so the building sits in a place with deep legal roots. The catalog data comes from an old caption card and has not been independently verified, so details of the building's construction and history are best checked against county records.
