The Million Dollar Court House
The man in this video was our tour guide. He was full of stories and facts and very entertaining.
The D.A.'s office
Lots of old documents and histories
Nevada's original laws
An old leather fire helmet
Mining Equipment
Old typewriters
The Courthouse was full of these old mannequins and the guide had storied and names for all of them!
"The best secretary around. Never complains... never answers the phone either"
An old voting record. Luke Syphus on the left is Baby Luke's namesake.
The Courtroom where a claim jumper is on trial for murdering a farmer and throwing him down a mine.
The jury -- tough crowd
"Who's that guy"?
The judge
The jail
I was fighting a cold all weekend. While we were touring the Court House I started sneezing and coughing and having a hard time. Then Luke decided to throw a fit.. so we're going to have to come back again on a better day and explore Pioche more. Especially all our family heritage spots.
Allie and Injun Joe (as she lovingly named him) in one of the only photos from the Pioche Museum.
We had a great time and another trip is in the works for camping in the fall.
Anyone want to throw in with us?!
