The Old Carleton County Court House is located at 19 Court Street in Upper Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada.
The Court house was built in 1833. A new court house was constructed, obviating the need for the old one, which was used as a horse barn until 1966 when it was purchased by the Carleton County Historical Society. It was designated as a protected heritage site in 1977.
It is open to the public Monday to Saturday from 11am-7pm from July 1 to August 31, Monday to Saturday, and at other times by appointment. The Victorian Christmas Concert is held here on the last weekend in November.

Famous quotes containing the words county, court and/or house:
“Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.”

“Semantically, taste is rich and confusing, its etymology as odd and interesting as that of “style.” But while style—deriving from the stylus or pointed rod which Roman scribes used to make marks on wax tablets—suggests activity, taste is more passive.... Etymologically, the word we use derives from the Old French, meaning touch or feel, a sense that is preserved in the current Italian word for a keyboard, tastiera.”
—Stephen Bayley, British historian, art critic. “Taste: The Story of an Idea,” Taste: The Secret Meaning of Things, Random House (1991)
