The Hickman County Courthouse is located on the town square in Centerville, TN. This is the 5th courthouse in Hickman county and a new one has opened not far from here. It was built in 1926 and is a two story brick building with a full basement. On the day I'm writing this, I've been through Centerville three times in the last 4 years. 4 years ago, I stopped only to get a picture of the Minnie Pearl Statue which was new at the time. On my second visit in the summer of 2008, the statue had become a controversial topic, as too many people were stopping in the town square to get a picture, like I had, and were impeding traffic. By the time I made my 3rd visit a year later, the statue was gone and the traffic pattern of highway 48 and highway 100 was updated from going all the way around the square to just on the west side
