    Decatur County Courthouse - Iron steps

    The Decatur County Courthouse is one of the most famous courthouses in the U.S. For 150 years, a…read moretree has grown out of the structure's clock tower, grabbing the attention of visitors. The Courthouse is the second dedicated courthouse of Decatur County. Plans for the building were drafted in 1854 by a committee composed of B. Y. Wilson, I. G. Monfort and B. H. Harney. Construction was overseen by Indianapolis architect, Edwin May, who designed the Indiana State House. The final cost of the Romanesque brink structure and grounds was $120,000. The courthouse opened in 1861. Rennovations to update and repair the building have been made periodically throughout the years beginning in 1889 and an expansion in 1997. The staff is friendly and the officer relayed anecdotal stories about the tree(s). The original tree appeared in the 1870s. Additional sprouts appeared over the years, but have been culled to protect the structure. The tree that exists today is a spout of the original tree. The tree has been identified as a large tooth aspen. Inside the courthouse has been preserved throughout history. Iron stairs ascend to the second floor courts. Original oak trim and some furniture adorn the halls. Historical transfer books neatly stacked in cubbies. Court was in session, so I was unable to visit the courtrooms. Framed historical newspaper articles tell stories from the past. The Courthouse is uniquely poised for visitors. On the immaculate grounds surrounding the Courthouse are a War Memorial and several historic markers.

While here, I enjoyed the markers in the courthouse and of course, the tree. The marker reads, "Site of the original court house built in 1827 and occupied until 1854. Present building completed in 1860. Large tooth aspen tree appeared in 1870 on the roof of the 115 foot clock tower. In July, 1863, it became a temporary armory while troops bivouacked on the lawn. The treasurer's office held provisions to feed 10 regiments. The 7th Regimental Band had played weekly on the square before being militarized. Many political figures have given speeches from the steps. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973." Yes, there is a tree growing on the roof. It was noticed in 1870 and it's a tourist draw. Yes, a real tree. [Review 20519 overall - 65 in Indiana - round number 1500 of 2023.]

    This memorial is located behind the Decatur County Courthouse and was dedicated in 2011. It is…read moresmall but nice. It features a huge granite wall, in front of a flag pole, with the inscription "The nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten." Below that is a black marble base inscribed "Lest We Forget". There are black marble walking stones that lead to the memorial representing wars staring with the Revolutionary War, then the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, Mexican Border War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and ends with the Persian Gulf War. I liked this memorial. It is simple and to the point. It has some places for you to sit and take it all in. It is peaceful and soothing and well maintained. It overlooks a free parking lot and there is also free street parking within a reasonable walking distance. This memorial is actually 3 in 1. It is flanked, at its entrance, by the Spanish American War Veterans Memorial and Civil War Memorial. This is a very small memorial. The original memorial was dedicated in October 1926. It was dedicated 'to the memory of all Spanish American War Veterans living and dead.' The memorial was dismantled in 1995 and rebuilt as part of the All-Wars Memorial. This memorial is simple and basic. It consists of a granite pedestal that has a bronze "Crest" of the "Spanish War Veterans on one side and a bronze information placard, detailing the significance of the site and the memorial, on the other. It should be noted that the bronze "Crest" of the "Spanish War Veterans was salvaged from the original 1926 memorial. This is another small memorial that was erected in 1922. It has a granite pedestal, identical to the Spanish American War memorial one, that has a bronze marker on the front and back. The front one has a solider holding a rifle and has the inscription, "In Honor of the Civil War Soldiers of Decatur County". "This monument cannot disclose. Nor can the skill of mortal make a record of the countless woes they suffered for their Country's sake." The opposite side has a rifle across the top and the following inscription, "Decatur County provided more than 2,500 officers and men for the Union Armies during the Civil War. These soldiers served in many Regiments, including: 7th (Gavin - Grover - Welsh), 17th (Wilder), 37th, 52nd, 68th (Scobey), 76th (Gavin), 83rd, 104th (Gavin), 123 (McQuiston), 134th (Gavin), 146th (Welsh), and 156th Indiana Infantry Regiments, 5th Indiana Cavalry Regiment (Butler), and 26th Indiana Light Artillery Battery (Rigby)." "Their devotion to duty, initiative and sacrifice and exemplified by the 7th Indiana Infantry, commanded by Colonel Ira G. Grover, then Major Merit C. Welsh, which served in the Iron Brigade, Army of the Potomac; and the 17th Indiana Mounted Infantry which served in the Lightning Brigade Commanded by General John T. Wilder, Army of the Cumerland." 'Let us all more deeply resolve that our children shall be taught to forever maintain what we preserve in our day, a Great, free and United Country.' General John T. Wilder Their Works do follow them. Rev. 14:13 So, anyway be sure to check it out. Anyway, as with most memorials that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a very long stop. I was there less than 15 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

However, last night, we ordered a large pizza with cheesy strips... and it was a disaster. The pizza was so thin it was like paper. The cheesy strips couldn't be eaten because they were way overcooked. I called in and asked for it to be remade. The woman who answered was super nice and said of course and that they were trying out a new crust for their pizzas and they thanked me for the feedback. She said it would be about 25 mins for it to be remade. No big deal. But when I went to get the "new" order, it was the exact same. It was almost 9pm and I didn't feel like complaining again. So all of it got pitched. $32 down the drain... I don't know if they changed the cooking time for their items or if they're trying out all new foods.... But we unfortunately won't be back unless it changes back to how it was.

Admissions is affordable at $5 per person, but it was free the day we visited because of a reptile show! We got to see tortoises, skinks, salamanders, tarantulas, snakes, and more! Inside the conservatory, there are fish and a couple other critters permanently on display. The signage around the gardens is informative and interesting- and the plants are simply beautiful! So well cared for and healthy. I could have walked around the loop 5 times and noticed new things each time. There are several places to sit and relax throughout the gardens (we fed our baby on one of the benches). There is a restroom and coat racks- which you'll need because the gardens are quite warm! What a great find for the afternoon! Bonus that it's located right in a park, by a library, several cute places to stop and eat, and public art. The only downside I can think of is that there wasn't a ton of parking- probably more accessible when there isn't a special event going on!

It's close to the highway so easy access and near my house - double plus. The admission to get in was $4 per person, and they take card - another plus for being inexpensive. They have plants for sale and host events/activities, the lady working was friendly and explained all of that. They have brochures in the front as well. Inside is so astonishing, there is so much to see. It's so beautiful, I adore and admire all of it. I love how things are labeled and have informational tidbits about the plants. They have ponds with live fish and waterfalls around. They have a restroom and it had a window so of course there is a plant inside, I love it. I'll have to take note next time I go here that it was very warm inside, I felt very hot so dress accordingly. There is parking available. Check hours before coming, holidays vary.
