Throughout the midwest you'll find courthouses,
most dating to the late 1800's.
I'm always surprised at the grandeur
of these buildings.
Even in the smallest, most rural county seats
such as Hartford City, Indiana,
it seems an attempt was made to make the courthouse
the town's crown jewel.
On Saturday we passed through Hartford City on our way home
from celebrating Katie's birthday.
The courthouse was stunning to me,
illuminated and rising into the cold Indiana dusk.

So many little jewels in our great country.
I love discovering them.

From cows to courthouses...
The month of February, brought to you by the letter "C"
haha you're funny.
I definitely think Delaware's courthouse is absolutely beautiful, and Kenton's is lovely in the winter with the Christmas lights.
Haven't seen Kenton's, but Delaware's is a gem, for sure.
