Landmarks of Justice: Preserving Indiana's County Courthouses

Join us as we discuss how “Landmarks of Justice” highlights what makes Indiana’s county courthouses special and irreplaceable. Discover how one Indiana county nearly lost its courthouse and the inspiring campaign that led local senior citizens to become “calendar girls” in the name of justice.

This event is being held as an online meeting/webinar. You will be emailed login instructions approximately 24 hours before the event.

Every Indiana county has one. Some date back to the mid-1800s, while others have only stood for a little over thirty years. The legacy of Indiana’s county courthouses remains strong as county commissioners
and communities realize the aesthetic, architectural, and historical significance of these houses of justice. Speaker, Suzanne Stanis is the Director of Heritage Education for Indiana Landmarks. She has a
