MacArthur Memorial — Historic Norfolk Courthouse

The MacArthur Memorial occupies the 1850 Norfolk City Hall and Courthouse building, but the site's history extends to the 18th century courthouse that stood here during the Revolution. Norfolk's courthouse was the center of civil authority in the town during the years of Dunmore's occupation and the 1776 burning. The memorial's location at the center of colonial Norfolk's civic geography makes it a useful anchor for understanding the Revolutionary-era town. MacArthur's tomb, five galleries of his military career, and the 1945 Japanese surrender documents are the primary exhibits.
