They stand at once as silent reminders of time past as well as the hub of our daily lives. They are the focus of activity in every county - the site of political speeches, holiday parades, and community picnics. They are the courthouses of Minnesota's eighty-seven counties. Writes author Mary Logue, "With a clock tower, the courthouse becomes metaphor, literally the ticking heart at the center of a county."
In this book are photographs celebrating the diversity of Minnesota's county courthouses. From the silvery Beaux Arts dome of the Lake County Courthouse to the tall brick tower of the stately Laq qui Parle County Courthouse, this book offers a parade of some of the finest public buildings in the North Star State.
Paired with Doug Ohman's photos are stories by poet and mystery writer Mary Logue that reveal the secrets of these buildings we thought we knew. Words and pictures, together animate the history of the ways Minnesotans live under the law - with justice, equality, and fairness.
