Legacy Projects > Indiana’s Courthouse Squares: Reasserting the Importance of Iconic Local Identity Indiana’s Courthouse Squares: Reasserting the Importance of Iconic Local Identity

The project showcases all 92 county courthouses and their adjoining squares in the state of Indiana. County courthouses serve as iconic fixtures for a community’s identity that: symbolically asserts the rule of law at the center of American society; exhibits a unique architecture that captures the era in which the structure was built; serves as the iconic edifice for many of the county seats; and provides centralized places for economic and social activities. In recent decades, several communities have taken efforts to revitalize their courthouse, which has assisted in the rejuvenation of their surrounding squares. This project, moving forward, will highlight, promote, and assist in those efforts.
