Places To Go

Quincy is known for its attractive downtown buildings that have been made the focus of preservation and restoration. The four-story courthouse building at 520 Main Street is the county's most dominant and impressive structure (though not the oldest). Built in 1921, it features marble pillars and staircase and a beautiful 2,000lb. bronze and plate glass chandelier (only part is still in use). The front and rear courtyards have expansive grassy lawns with benches for sitting areas which make it a favorite location for local events such as the Main Street Christmas Sparkle and Tree lighting.
