Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the first week of October can be one of the best places to see fall foliage. I was lucky enough to catch a warm day with bright blue skies, and I took a lot of pictures.
Crystal Falls, MIchigan, has a population of 1,598 persons and is the seat of Iron County. The county was established in the late 1880’s and was named for the rich iron ore deposits found here. Wealth from iron mining built their 1890 Richardson Romanesque courthouse.
This courthouse was built in 1890. Pictured below (left to right) are its grand entrance door, its statue of Lady Justice above, and its main courtroom on the second floor.

My lifetime hobby is traveling to all of America’s county courthouses, and each month I post about a visit to a scenic or interesting county seat. It’s a hobby, and donations are greatly appreciated to help cover my costs.
Thanks,
Tim
