After decades of limited progress, a full restoration of the old Marengo County Courthouse in Linden is underway to turn the historic structure into a venue for community events. Led by the Linden Historical Society and President Mike Peppenhorst, the 1848 Greek Revival structure is one of the oldest surviving courthouses in the region and has long been considered Linden’s most significant historic treasure. Todd and Cindy talk about the renovations in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
