There is plenty of parking to be found around the square -- while this is the county seat, this is a small, Texas town -- and the disk is not difficult to locate. Approach the stairs on the north side of the courthouse, and follow the sidewalk around the stairs to your left. The disk is just up off the sidewalk, to your right, and you'll be closer to the basement entry than to the foot of the staircase.
