Beautiful old courthouse. Floors are marble, great detail inside with wide stairs and ceiling. Lots of exhibits on each floor. If you are local or know family local the library is a treasure trove of historical information. ( people there to help you ) If you visit on a Saturday during summer farmers market, its free. ( air-conditioned) My grandson, aged 7, enjoyed the visit as well. Route 66, changing exhibits.
