CHARLOTTE.   A beautiful reminder of the bygone era of town squares and tree-lined city streets bustling with foot traffic, Eaton County's Courthouse Square dates back to the latter half of the 19th century and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The square's primary structures are the 1873 sheriff's residence, built in the Second Empire style, and the Renaissance Revival-style courthouse, which was completed in 1885. Today, the courthouse is open to visitors, who will find there the Eaton County Genealogical Society, family-friendly programs and events, a restored courtroom, the judge's chambers, and exhibits relating to Mid-Michigan history.   (© 10Best)

This is the way ALL courthouse squares should look!!---What a beautiful building and inside you feel like you've been transported back in time---incredible period photos abound and the people who work there took the extra time to help us try to find my wife’s mothers birth documents---very friendly---a nice experience.

Visiting Courthouse Square is to step back in time. The building’s architecture is grand, from first visual contact of the outside of the structure to the details of the wood, tile and stained glass elements inside. The very friendly and informative staff obviously enjoys what they do and took the time to answer questions in regards to all aspects of the history of the building, the exhibits, and the programs...I can’t say enough about the time I had at this place. This is not a normal stuffy museum. There was a small group of children while I was there, and they were also given a personalized visit. The staff took the time to engage the children and best of all the temporary exhibit had hands on activities for the children. Alone or as a family, Courthouse Square is a place to visit.
