Beautiful old building
During the Helen Keller Festival’s Car Show (A MUST SEE - SO MANY UNIQUE CARS ON DISPLAY!) we ducked in the courthouse to use the public restrooms. This courthouse is so pretty, clean and it is well preserved. You can tell the citizens lovingly care for it.

Historic and Evocative
The courthouse dates back to the 1880s and has recently been repainted and looks nice. The grounds are well kept and there are several monuments to American veterans of several wars. The largest by far is a statue of a Confederate soldier erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1911. The inscriptions include: "The men were right who wore the gray, and right can never die." "The manner of their death was the crowning glory of their lives." "God of our fathers, help us to preserve for our children the priceless treasure of the true story of the Confederate soldier." Most people seem to ignore the statue completely but visitors and some locals are both fascinated and troubled when they read the inscriptions. It s worth a visit and it will make you think.
