We had 20 minutes to kill and took a stroll through the grounds of the capitol. We thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of plants and trees, many labeled. It was something our 88 year old mom could safely enjoy. The statues were interesting and the grounds well kept. This is a very inviting capitol.

Washoe County Courthouse

More marriage licenses have been issued in this courthouse than any other courthouse of its size in the United States. Completed in 1912, still in use today, it was designed by noted Nevada architect Frederick J. DeLongchamps in the neo-classical style and has several ornate features. Many famous people received their wedding licenses and divorce decrees in this old courthouse.

Eureka County Courthouse

Reviewed By DoughertySean - Las Vegas, United States

The historic building is still a working courthouse and they have a very laid-back attitude toward you just wandering around in it. We were able to sit in the judge's chair in the main room, look at his chambers and conference room and photograph the classic building inside and out. There are a few explanatory signs (for example explaining the history of Nevada's Silver Party) but basically you are self-guided. It is a beautiful building and well worth a stop if you are in Eureka.
