Maury County Courthouse

The Maury County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse building in Columbia, Tennessee, the county seat of Maury [County, Tennessee|Maury County]. James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter Jr. was its architect.
The courthouse is where Henry Choate was hanged in 1927 after being lynched. The courthouse was also a rallying place for white vigilante groups during violence in 1946.
A new cupola was planned as part of renovations to the then 98-year-old courthouse in 1998.
It has been the site of filming projects, including the music video for Jason Aldean's controversial "Try That in a Small Town". "We Were Rich" by Runaway June was filmed in Columbia and includes the courthouse as a backdrop.
