Did you ever wonder how folks got to the second floor of the courthouse in 1875? There is no trace of the stairway. We have uncovered the original headers around the door.
Did you ever wonder why there is a cut place in the flooring of the old courtroom all the way across? Some speculate to install electric while others propose the original railing was there. Hmmm.... Come give us your opinion.
When do you think those beautiful hardwood beams were placed in the majestic courtroom, only to have been hidden at a later date by a lowered false ceiling? Hmmm. Some might believe it was during the 1870s, but then how would that "green" paint get underneath the ceiling that we know was in the courthouse in 1938. Just curious....
Wonder why a ceiling fan would have been hung with electrical wire? Well.... so do we! Hmmmm.
It's really fun working with young folks... The story of the civil war and Jesse James was relived over lunch break. Do you ever think about how important it is to preserve our county heritage? Well.... I, for one, think about it often and was reminded how important this is today! -- raylene

Did you ever wonder if the bathroom upstairs in the courthouse used to be an old fireproof storage area? The plaster was really, really thick!
ReplyDeleteOne of the floors downstairs has been replaced with plywood. Do you wonder what happened to the original floor? Come look to give us your opinion!
