Shooting the Crawford County Courthouse

Denison is the county seat of Crawford County and this is their courthouse. Located atop a hill in the center of town, a block off the main business district, this courthouse is part of the community and easy to find. One of the interesting things about the grounds was a group of three halloween manequins wearing jailhouse garb, complete with bowling ball-and-chain shackles.

Denison has claims to fame through a couple of their former residents.

Award-winning actress Donna Reed was born near Denison in 1921. During her career she starred opposite James Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life and with Frank Sinatra in From Here to Eternity, a role that earned Reed the 1953 "Best Supporting Actress" Academy Award. She also starred on television's The Donna Reed Show.

Clarence Chamberlin, an aviation pioneer, was also born and raised in Denison. He was among other things, the second man to fly across the Atlantic Ocean after Charles Lindbergh.
