OLD WESTMORELAND COURTHOUSE
At a public meeting here, on June 22, 1774, resolutions of Richard Henry Lee offering aid to Boston, whose port had been closed by the British government, were adopted. Here, on May 23, 1775, the Westmoreland Committee of Safety passed resolutions denouncing the Royal Governor, Lord Dunmore, for seizing the colony's powder supply at Williamsburg.
