ATLANTA – Speaker Pro Tem Mark Burkhalter (R-Johns Creek) was presented a framed copy of the old Milton County Courthouse from Mr. William Bates, Representative Jan Jones (R- Milton) and the Alpharetta Historical Society at the first meeting of the Milton County Legislators Advisory Committee on June 11, 2009 at Johns Creek city hall.
The frame was crafted by Mr. Bates out of original wood from the demolished Milton County Courthouse. The courthouse was built in 1895 and located on South Main Street in Alpharetta. Alpharetta City Hall is now located on the same site of the Milton County courthouse which was demolished in 1955.
