Thousands of people drive by the courthouse each day yet not very many have had a chance to stop in for a visit or even learn about it. This documentary contains all aspects of the courthouse in four "chapters" and several vignettes (short video stories). The chapters cover the courthouse beginnings, the importance and function of the circuit court, an 1860 Abraham Lincoln campaign banner that now hangs as a painting in the judge's chambers, and a short tour of the 1870 courthouse clock demonstrating how it works.
