Historic Hanna's Town steps back in time to when the Revolutionary War-era village of Hanna's Town served as the seat of government for Westmoreland County and held the first English courts west of the Allegheny Mountains. Sessions of Colonial Court, featuring actual cases heard at Hanna's Town between 1773 and 1786, are presented. This event is held annually close to the anniversary of the date (July 13) of the burning of Hanna's Town in 1782.
