Carol Taylor, Hunt County Historical Commission chairman, says the Hunt County Courthouse was dedicated on April 11, 1929, making it 92 years old.  The Hunt County Courthouse was the model for the Travis County Courthouse in Austin.  Carol says seven courthouses have actually existed on the site in downtown Greenville.
