Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse Announces New Video Series & Lunch On The Lawn Event in Downtown Evansville

When you think about the Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse, you might just think about The Catacombs haunted house, but it holds a lot more than that. If the walls could talk, we would hear some amazing stories of Evansville's history. We don't have to wait for the walls to start talking to get the history, though. The  Old Courthouse Foundation is releasing a new video series that is full of amazing history and stories.

The videos are narrated by the amazing Larry Bristow. Larry lives and breaths the Old Courthouse, so he was the perfect choice to share his knowledge in the video series.

The Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse

It is often simply called the "Old Courthouse," and was once the center of Vanderburgh County, Indiana government. Construction started in the spring of 1888 and was completed in November 1890. The building was ready to be occupied by the county government in early 1891. It sits in the heart of downtown Evansville.
