Sightseeing
Worth a visit inside just to admire the old courthouse architecture and the modern remade entrance with the high windows ... head out the back door of the rotunda for a view of the mountains. Inside there is usually rotating art to admire. The historic building has a series of war memorials all the way up to the top of the steps (including the now blocked off civil war memorial that is still being deliberated over), and a couple of great modern statues near the parking lot.
