Description:

This courthouse was completed in 1884 - a time when cowboys and saloons and shootouts were still common in this region. This is the second courthouse to be built here; the first, which was not constructed well, was erected in 1875. The courthouse was symbolic of an era in which what was basically anarchy would no longer be permitted.
