On Saturday, there was a small farmers' market along one side of the courthouse. Unfortunately, the museum was closed for the weekend,
but we looked around outside, and had a quick look inside the courthouse.

1891
We got a quick look into the main hallway of the courthouse.
Thanks to H for taking several of these photos, as we walked around the park-like courthouse setting.
| Quote of the moment |
| Nearly all literature, in one sense, is made up of guide-books. Old ones tell us the ways our fathers went, through the thoroughfares and courts of old; but how few of those former places can their posterity trace, amid avenues of modern erections; to how few is the old guide-book now a clew! Every age makes its own guide-books, and the old ones are used for waste paper. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Redburn (1849), ch. 31, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 4, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1969). ~ |
