This week we explored the Black Swamp in more detail. We went to the Wood Co Courthouse on Monday. This was a great experience. It was incredible to think that the once terrifying Great Black Swamp has become the county seat of power for all of Wood Co. We were able to see the original justice bench which was moved from Perrysburg, Oh. Another opportunity which we had was to see the first original courtroom used in Wood Co. This was shown to us by one of the policemen on duty at the time. We are very grateful to Bowling Green's finest for showing us the Courtroom.
We were also able to learn about the courthouse's construction and cost. The outside of the courthouse has incredible carvings and the inside ceiling has beautiful stain glass windows. The original windows are now covered with a protective covering due to the damage that was occurring to them.
When considering the richness of the Wood Co. Courthouse, how do you think the settlers of the area felt about the courthouse? Do you think they were proud, impressed, or do you t
hink they thought it was a waste of money? Do you think it was worth all the money that was invested in the building? Remember the contractors went over the original amount alloted for the project. What most impressed you about the courthouse? Was there anything surprising that you found or saw?
Hey everyone,
ReplyDeleteI really like that day, and it was a great day at the Wood County Courthouse. I had learn more things about the courthouse in the USA. Also, I like the courtroom, which is very nice and it has the original justice bench which was moved from Perrysburg, Oh. Also, I really like the design and incredible carvings and the inside ceiling has beautiful stain glass windows. Also, I have known that the clock tower was from wood and they change it to the material because of the birds, which are change the time of the clock.
I think that is enough, and I will give the opportunity for my friends.
Also, the stand of the stairs is from the wood.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys very much. I think this courthouse costs a lot of money to built it, and make the design very awesome.
Hey, Wood Co Courthouse is the place that I visited with my classmates and my teacher. So they are a lot of thing I liked, but I liked most the architectural form of the court. Because the make some of it by hands.
