This 1897 courthouse is a beautiful structure, built with limestone and red sandstone bricks that were precut at the quarry to the exact size . At each entrance are columns, and over the east entrance is the builder's mark of an owl. On the roof are two statues: liberty and justice. The clock tower is capped by an eagle. After seeing the courthouse building, walk (or drive) to the corner of Main and 9th (directly across the street from the museum on Main) to see the mural which features the courthouse as well as other things.
