Pretty good looking courthouse Washington County. Some other counties need to step up their courthouse game. I’d give it 8/10.
Named after a landowner from Virginia, Washington County was established in 1854 and currently the county seat is Blair.
Fort Atkinson was the first military fort west of the Missouri River and at the time was the largest military post. The fort’s boundaries stretched seven miles north, west and south. The fort was abandoned at some point and the community of Fort Calhoun grew over the abandoned site. Farming operations erased most traces of the historic fort, except for the musket balls, uniform buttons, coins and other artifacts that surfaced with each spring plowing and after rainstorms.
