Court Is in Session
I Do, I Do, I Do
Here’s the verdict: Lillington is home to one of the newest courthouses in the entire country. The Harnett County Courthouse was built in 2003 to replace the old, cramped downtown courthouse that had served the community for many decades. The new facility was constructed on a 300-acre tract of land owned by the county, and today the courthouse is home to District 11A court along with small claims, traffic courts, tax records and deeds. Besides the courthouse, the 300-acre government campus is home to the Department of Public Health, Department of Aging, Department of Social Services and Veterans Memorial Park. A law enforcement center is currently under construction.
Here comes the bride, and here comes the groom along with the bridesmaids and everyone else in the wedding party. Harnett County boasts several matrimonial-based venues from which to choose. Couples can get married at places such as Anderson Creek Country Club, Barrington House, Dunn Shrine Center, Howard House, James A. Campbell House, Regency Banquet & Conference Center and the Willow Pond Farmstead. At Barclay Villa, couples can enjoy a grand villa package for $7,500. It includes a three-day, two-night stay in the Ava grand suite, as well as use of a 250-seat ballroom and full access to a private English garden.
