Set in the award-winning Carteret County Courthouse of 1796, this courthouse drama allows students to get a firsthand look at what the early Beaufort courts were like by acting out the roles of characters from an actual historical court case and deciding a verdict for themselves. Discussion of legal points and the outcome of the trial is facilitated by local attorneys who offer insights about the modern and historic legal systems as well as answer students’ questions.

Students: $2.50 each
