Caption: Marker detail: Former Lewis County Courthouse
Additional Description: The county courthouse to your left was completed in 1886 to replace the antebellum courthouse, which had burned. The earlier building had splendid columns across the front and a decorative cupola above. During the war, it was sometimes used as a Union hospital, and future president Rutherford B. Hayes, a Union officer, wrote of visiting the sick there.
