The Williamson County Courthouse is a courthouse in Georgetown, Texas, United States. It was designed by Charles Henry Page in 1909, and exhibits Beaux-Arts architecture. In 1923, District Attorney Dan Moody obtained an assault conviction against four members of the Ku Klux Klan at this courthouse. A Texas historical marker for the trials stands on the courthouse grounds. The Texas Historical Commission wrote, "These trials were considered the first prosecutorial success in the United States against the 1920s Klan and quickly weakened the Klan's political influence in Texas."[1] During the 2000s, the building underwent a $9 million restoration. The courthouse was rededicated in October 2006.[2]
The building is part of the Williamson County Courthouse Historic District. A Confederate monument is installed outside the courthouse.[3] [4] [5]
