Geocache Description:

Description
This site has alot of historical background (see Site Backgroud below). On occasion, music could be heard here. The terrain is not a big factor, so you can leave your walking staff and hiking boots at home. Even though this cache is marked as unavailable in winter, at times this site will still be available depending on weather conditions

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CLIMB STEPS, ENTER BUILDINGS/STRUCTURES OR MOVE ANYTHING BUT THE CACHE

Site Background

"This building is Hamilton County's third courthouse. The first was built in Orville City, the original county seat, in 1870. After five elections, Aurora was chosen as county seat in 1876. To assure the victory, the town constructed the second courthouse here in Central Park Square in 1877. It was destroyed by fire in January 1894. In March 1894 the county board hired architect William Gray of Lincoln, who had designed several Nebraska courthouses, to provide plans for a new building. Voters approved $60,000 in bonds for its construction and furnishing. The courthouse was completed in 1895. The Hamilton County Courthouse is built in the county Capitol Style, emulating the shape of the U.S. Capitol. Here a tall spire is used instead of a central dome, and red brick with Colorado sandstone instead of marble. The architectural detailing follows American Round Arch designs made popular by Boston architect H.H. Richardson. The stability of county government is suggested by the building's impressive exterior and by the ornate white oak woodwork inside. The courthouse is listed in The National Register of Historic Places.“ (www.nebraskahistory.org)

Contents/Tips
This cache is fairly small-just enough room for a log, a pencil, and one trade item(Red Cross pin)for the First to Find. I have obtained permission to place the cache at this location. This is a very high muggle area at certain times of the day, but on the other hand it may be a very low muggle area at other times, so use your noodle when deciding when to go looking!
Best of Luck and Hope You Find It!
