Barnwell County Courthouse
Inscription
The county courthouse was on this site from 1871 to 1874. In 1869 Republican state senator Charles P. Leslie, a native of New York, sponsored an act to move the county seat from Barnwell to Blackville. Court was first held in a church until a two-story brick courthouse was built at a cost of $8000.
After the county seat returned to Barnwell the courthouse housed Blackville Academy, later a public school. Erected by the Barnwell County Council, 2001
