Outside the courthouse there was a monument to those who served in local law enforcement. It was beautifully done and paid incredible tribute to those who gave their lives in public service. There was also some historical and artistic pieces inside the building as well. We had a great time and were glad we paid a visit. Please check out what your tax dollars have so richly provided.

I was not told that I was purchasing the "short" one, and I needed an original detailed copy. After my money was taken, I was told "sorry, that's the building down the street, you can get what you need there for the same price, but we can't give you your money back." I can't say I'm surprised. Completely absurd. You're the professional, not me. Make it clear to the customer what you are selling them BEFORE it's too late. Make sure it's what they need. Obviously all you care about is taking my money, the money of a law abiding, tax paying, voting citizen. The system is so corrupt.

Secondly, do not Wear clothing with a permanently attached Belt, you will be denied Entry, the Security will raise their Voice at You like that will make the Belt magically not be permanently attached. Lastly, be very mindful that the security Staff have a Mount Everest size Chip on their Shoulders, apparently making Eye Contact Warrants a Strip Search for Jury Duty. I'm all for doing my "Civic Duty" but when you are Talked down to like You are a Child, at that point I question My Civic Duty. I'm still trying to Wrap My Mind around how a Belt is deemed a threat.

We enjoyed all their trails, park store, and exploring the grounds outside the mission. The park is very dog friendly; however, the rodeo was taking place when we visited and the fireworks were so loud, they upset our dog. We ended up not staying the second night because we heard the firework show would be even more intense. I would suggest including that information on the park website. Other than that, we sincerely enjoyed our time at the park.

The courthouse was built in the 1960's, and has a design that doesn't really fit in with any of the other architecture of the area. It's got an underground parking garage, and concrete shades to keep the sun out of the courtrooms inside. The overhanging second floor is interesting, where you can walk under it, and stay in the shade. At the far end of the Main Square is a large Confederate memorial. It reads, "Lest we forget" and features the Confederate flag carved in stone, two stone cannon barrels, and a obelisk with a rebel soldier in uniform. The whole set up seems like an anachronism, with the old monument in front of the modern design of the courthouse. There's plenty of parking if you're not allowed in the underground parking area. Just park along the square. The paved areas have seats if you are looking for a place to hang out and get out of the sun. It's picturesque here, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.
