I love old Texas county courthouses. This one has had a big "updating" that makes the inside feel modern and not like an historic building. It's run by a non-government group, and feels more like a new building inside. So, I appreciate that the exterior is preserved, but miss the authentic interior feeling.

The staff at the MPAC (McKinney Performing Arts Center), located in the McKinney Courthouse is fabulous. Amy and the others are friendly and accommodating, and they have a great venue to offer for all sorts of events - wedding, galas, community activities, church services, etc. Would highly recommend them if the venue accommodates your party size.

All three floors are open to the public to walk through. There is a nice art gallery in the basement that is used fairly often for wedding receptions. The old courtroom (on the third floor) has been converted into a theatre. It is small but very pretty. The McKinney Repertory Theatre performs there and they have special events often. They... More
