Each of Indiana’s 92 counties had a county seat with a courthouse. Much of the state’s finest architecture can be found in the courthouses, even those in small rural areas not associated with affluence. The courthouses were built between 1816 and 1860. 83 remain as functioning entities. Most have been renovated and offer outstanding photo opportunities in addition to simply being fun to explore.
