Historic Clay County Courthouse

Location: Celina

Standing proudly in the heart of Celina, Tennessee, the Historic Clay County Courthouse is a testament to the region’s rich heritage and community spirit. Constructed in 1873 using bricks made from local clay, this two-story Italianate-style building has long served as the county’s civic and cultural centerpiece . After nearly 140 years of continuous use, it has been thoughtfully repurposed into a vibrant cultural arts center. Visitors can explore interpretive exhibits detailing the county’s history, attend performances in the restored upstairs courtroom—now equipped for theatrical and musical events—and delve into local traditions at the Rolley Hole Marble Museum. The courthouse not only preserves the past but also fosters a dynamic space for community engagement and celebration .​
