About The Courthouse
In almost every American county seat, the courthouse stands at the heart of the square, older than most of the town around it, built to last. The stone is cool to the touch even on a summer afternoon, and the clock in the tower has marked the hours for generations of neighbors who set their watches by it. Inside, the rotunda carries a hush that the world outside can't quite break, and the records kept in those vaulted rooms go back further than living memory.
