Shooting the Winnebago County Courthouse

Forest City is the county seat of Winnebago County and this is their courthouse. Located atop a hill overlooking the main north-south road through town, it was easy to find. For the first time we've seen, the war memorial on the courthouse grounds is in color; most are stone or metal but this appears to have been painted at some point. Interesting. Another first is that Forest City is a city in both Hancock and Winnebago Counties; unlike many county seats, rather than being near the center of the county, Forest City straddles the county line.
