Courthouses

Season 4 Episode 3 | 26m 39s | CC

The courthouses across Colorado are much more than judicial landmarks, their placement represents power and land status. In some cases, such as the Bent County Courthouse the location of this Victorian structure solidified the county seat in Las Animas instead of nearby Boggsville. From Ouray County’s solid brick design, to Hinsdale County's frame structure, discover Colorado's courthouses.
