The past few weeks have had many residents in Dawson County in full fret mode as they have driven through downtown Dawsonville and seen the Historic Courthouse on the square being painted a shocking shade of white. Calls have been pouring in seeking answers, according to county officials, who say there is no cause for concern, as the white is a primer for the red color that will cover the brick facade. "The Historic Courthouse is being preserved and restored," said County Manager Randy Dowling.
