I hope this email finds everyone doing well and staying safe. My focus this month is to provide updates from the Clerk's Office including my Re-Election Bid and staff news.

I have also included the latest photos from the Augusta County Courthouse virtual photograph tour. Please enjoy the latest photos.

Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office Loans Historic Documents For Frontier Culture Museum Exhibit

The Circuit Court Clerk’s Office has loaned two important historic land record documents to the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia for the ‘E Pluribus Unum’ exhibit, which explores how maps were not just used for geographical records, but also as tools for politics and diplomacy. The redrawn 1807 Benjamin Borden Patent, and the 1749 Thomas Lewis Staunton Town Plat were loaned for the exhibit which opened last Friday and will run until March 31 in the Museum’s Visitor Center.

Virtual Photograph Tour

This is our continuing Augusta County Courthouse virtual photograph tour. This is the document describing the construction of the 1773 Augusta County Jail. It refers to strong oak planks for the floors, “the walls to be grouted and arched and leveled with…cement,” as well as building separate “dungeons” for male and female criminals. The plan also includes a plan for the jailor to live in the front part of the building.
