Our exhibit, 50 Years of Service: the Harvey County Courthouse will open on Saturday, March 21, 2015. Although this exhibit has a lot of photos, it was really difficult to find actual objects to include.
We did find a few, and the photo below is a detail of one of the objects in the exhibit. It looks like some sort of animal devouring something. It is metal and very heavy.
