Pulaski County Courthouse, County courthouse in Hawkinsville, United States.
The Pulaski County Courthouse is a neoclassical structure with symmetrical design, prominent columns, and ornate facades located where Commerce and North Lumpkin Streets meet. Inside, it contains courtrooms, administrative offices, and meeting spaces for county government operations.
The courthouse was built in 1874 to establish a formal seat of justice for Pulaski County's legal system. Major expansions followed in 1897 and 1910 as the county's administrative needs grew.
The chapel just outside the courtroom entrance is used for weddings and prayer groups, a function the 1874 building still serves alongside county court business. The courthouse is a contributing building in the Hawkinsville Commercial and Industrial Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1980.
The building sits prominently on a street corner, making it easy to find and approach from public streets. Visitors should note that certain areas are restricted during active court proceedings, and it helps to check ahead for visitor access guidelines.
