4.5 stars One of…read morethe most beautiful courthouses I've seen. This place is front and center, surrounded my historic buildings. I'm surprised they didn't have most of the floors blocked off, since we were able to go all the way to the top and getting the 360 view. There are old photos and woodwork along the way.

The Presidio County Courthouse is one of the gems you will find in Marfa. As someone who went to…read morelaw school, I may have an affinity for courthouses that most people don't share but this is truly a beautiful building. In addition to serving as Marfa's courthouse, it is a landmark and historical building. We took a stroll around the courthouse on a Thursday afternoon and everything inside is tidy and clean. The main attraction is walking up to the roof of the courthouse. You'll have to climb several sets of stairs, including winding staircases, until you reach the top. As you get close, there are some photos on the wall that show what Marfa looked like in the 1920's. Cool to see how life was during those times with horse-drawn buggies and such. Once you reach the top, you are gifted a panoramic view of the town of Marfa. The courthouse is centrally located so you're in the perfect position. A great place to snap some photos. At night, the courthouse lit up but my best guess is that these were installed for the holidays and that they are not a nightly occurrence.

We picked up a couple of sandwiches, some chips and soda before heading out of Fort Davis for the 2 hour Scenic Loop Drive with a plan to stop and enjoy a picnic along the way at one of the picnic tables along the loop. What a beautiful afternoon we spent weaving our way through the majestic Davis Mountains region! Thank you so much for embracing your regions natural resource and planting stops along the way so that visitors could discover the beauty of God's country up close and personal. MUST SEE/DO!!

This historic building houses one of the most unique and character filled libraries I've ever seen!…read more Every nook & cranny is interesting and filled with over 100 years of West Texas / Ft. Davis History. There's so much to look at & explore in this amazing library! We were greeted by a sweet librarian by the name of Pat. She was happy to tell us all about the library, past & present. The library houses 31,281 volumes & circulates 35,618 items a year. It serves a population of 2,253 residents. The creaky old wood floors & the old tin ceilings added so much charm and character to the experience. There are hidden nooks with nice Comfy chairs to plop down in and enjoy a full day of reading & exploring.....it'll take ya back & take ya away! I wanted to spend the whole day with Pat & read & learn more........=(. I CAN NOT Wait to check into the Limpia Hotel and walk across the way to spend a day at The AMAZING Jeff Davis Library! See ya next time! http://ttpls.tsl.state.tx.us/fortdavislibrary

Walking around town and noticed a small rack of books outside the library for sale. Found a couple,…read morewent in to pay. I asked if they had anymore books for sale and was directed back to an area with hundreds of books for sale. What a cool old building, nooks and crannys, sitting/reading areas. The original heating wood stove is still in place. The day we were there the place was full of kids. That in itself was a great site to see. My husband was outside with the dog when I first went in and one of the kids came out and said that the library was dog friendly, come on in. Stop and talk to the librarian, she will give you a pamphlet about the history of this building. The information also lightly touches on the history of the town as well. Would have loved to been able to spend more time here, you could easily spend 30 minutes to an hour just exploring.
