The Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre is on a 28-acre plot and is home to a historic preservation society. The site includes five historic buildings and several archaeological sites. Notable buildings include the 1822 Courthouse, an 1850 Jail, the 1853 Haislip-Hall House, Union Church, and the 1928 one-room Schoolhouse. Some buildings are said to be haunted, including the jail, where phantom voices have been reported, and the courthouse, where ghostly figures have been seen through the windows.
