Old Courthouse

The town of Holbrook has quite a history. it was quite the wild town. It was known as a town too tough for women and churches. This courthouse was built in 1898 for $15000.00. It housed the jail and was in use until 1976.

Can't imagine being in there.

Doesn't seem like it could of been in use until 30 years ago. There are pictures painted all over the walls made by the inmates. There were some pretty talented people. Amazing that you can still see the drawings


These are pictures of the Painted Desert part of the Park. Very sutble shades of red for miles. It was from all the iron.
