t 20 r Preliminary Interpretive Proposal: Norwood-Jones Law Office Prepared by: Cathleen Turner, Executive Director The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough Hillsborough has a wealth of historic resources relating to its history as the county seat of Orange County since the mid-eighteenth century. The remaining early nineteenth century law offices are a testament to its significance as the center of government and the home of many noted jurists. The Norwood-Jones Law Office, located on the southwest corner of West Margaret Lane and Court Street, is a unique example of this building type. With the restoration of the Hughes Academy nearing completion, an excellent opportunity exists to interpret the history of both law education and the law profession to visitors and students. With the County's approval, the Norwood-Jones Law Office could become part of this heritage tourism program in Hillsborough. Tour recommendation: Monday- Friday A volunteer can be stationed at the Alexander Dickson House (Orange County Visitors Center)to give two 30 minute tours per day to the Regulator Marker, the Hughes Academy,*the Norwood-Jones Law Office,* and the Old Orange County Courthouse.** One of the tours can be scheduled in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
