Shooting the Boone County Courthouse

Boone is the county seat of Boone County and this is their courthouse. Located on the west side of Boone, it took us a few tries to locate this one. It's set amongst several mature trees so my photo options were somewhat limited; this is the best shot of the overall structure I could find. This is a classic, big block, stone stucture that clearly communicates stability and authority; we're here, we're stayin'.

Wikipedia states the claim that Boone has the 2nd most used bowling alley in the state. A more verifiable claim is that First Lady Mamie Doud Eisenhower was born in Boone.
