First Greene County Courthouse A log structure built by
George Graham and George Ullom for Sheriff James Hook in 1797, a year
after Greene County was created in 1796. It was used as the county's
seat of government until about 1800 when a brick courthouse was built on
High Street. It is believed to be the oldest log courthouse on its
original lot in Pennsylvania and possibly in the whole country. Greene County's No. 1 Tourist

The Cook's Friend and Home Guide
Compiled and published by the Ladies Aid Society of
the M.E. Church of Jollytown in 1906 and now reproduced with the
intention of providing a glimpse into the past, as well as a useful
cookbook. It is 126 pages of recipes and folk ways: cleaning,
gardening, chicken tending, bug-killing tips, and philosophical
musing. The names on the recipes are a litany of Greene County
people that you will recognize: Berdine, Clovis, Cole, Fordyce, Dye,
Hennen, Phillips, Russell, Shriver, and Wise are just a few.
Mrs. J.C. Clovis, alone, has 28 recipes and guides.
