This courthouse is in the center of the business district, which is also the town square.
It looks like it has been updated several times, but still has plenty of life left in it.
It was a weekend when we stopped to waymark it. We did not have the opportunity to go inside and look around.
Still, the grounds surrounding the courthouse were pleasant and inviting.
