May be the most beautiful Courthouse in Texas.

Definitely worth visiting. You can climb to the cupola for a lovely view! An elevator takes you up several floors and you climb the last.

Worth a trip up to the cupola

Beautiful historic courthouse with open steps up to the top with views in all directions. Some nice historic photos on the floor below the top. You can just walk in when the building is open.

if you are in the area wirth 15 minute stop

Nice century-old, typical Texas courthouse. Walk up to top for 360º view of area. If you're in Marfa, this counts as high entertainment. Not much here.
