Jackson County, TN Courthouse - Gainsboro, TN

            Jackson County, named in honor of Andrew Jackson, a U.S. congressman and senator, Tennessee Supreme Court judge, commander at the Battle of New Orleans, and the seventh President of the United States, was created by the Tennessee legislature in November 1801.  It was the eighteenth county established in the state of Tennessee and is the second oldest of the twenty-three counties named for President Jackson in the United States; only Jackson County in Georgia is older.  Temporary county seats were used until about the year 1806, when Williamsburg, named for Sampson Williams, an early pioneer in the area, was named as the county seat.

In 1817 Gainesboro was designated as the permanent county seat and was incorporated in 1820.  The land was donated by David Cox.  Gainesborough, as it was then spelled, is one of the oldest towns in the state and was named for General Edmund Pendleton Gaines, who fought with Jackson at the battle of New Orleans.  The Gainesboro Historic District, which includes the town square and the 1927 version of the Jackson County Courthouse (seen here), is listed 0n the National Register of Historic Places.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image.  Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  ~Jeremiah 29:11
