#48, Madison County

Anderson is the county seat of Madison County.  The courthouse is a modern structure located in the downtown area.  The area where the courthouse is located was once a gathering and meeting place for the local natives in the area.

#5 Blackford County


Alphabetically, Blackford County is number five on the list of Indiana counties.  Hartford City is the county seat, loacted just off I-69 near Muncie.  This courthouse looks very similiar to that of Tipton County's.  This is not uncommon.  Many of the same architects designed courthouses throughout Indiana.  In some cases, counties would visit neighboring courthouses and decide that they would want same design.

Delaware County

 Muncie is the county seat of Delaware County.  Delaware County had a gorgeous courthouse. The old courthouse was replaced in the late 1900's. The county did keep a few statues that stood watch at the old building. Those figures are now on display across the street from the new building.
The new courthouse at Muncie.

A few figures still watching out for the residents of Delaware County.
Along with these statues, an entrance to another historical building in Muncie are on display across from the new courthouse.
