What a wonderful little courthouse.  It has been restored and is a shiny gem of a courthouse.  The day we visited, it had been very cold and pretty dreary – so the pictures often look dreary, but not here.  The sun came out and it made for some beautiful photos.  The rededication took place on March 12, 2015.  Inside, there’s not a lot that’s too exciting – except for it’s orginality.  The hall ceilings are once again barrelled – and bare hanging bulbs provide the light!  Really a joy to visit.  Put it on your list!  It’s hard to miss.  Throckmorton,  a pretty small town, and the courthouse is right on the corner of the main highways into and out of town.
