I went to the Courthouse museum on May 3, Saturday. I reached there by 1 PM. The courthouse was going through some renovation on the outside. They also had a beehive problem so they kept the front door closed at all times. I went inside and one of the museum docents, Jeff, kindly offered to give me a tour of the museum. It was a great place, and we spent around an hour doing the tour. It was so amazing and I learnt a lot. Jeff is an amazing person who had great knowledge about the history of the courthouse. They had a rotating exhibit as well. After the tour, I took some time to go around a little and go through the notes they had about the museum. I then went to the gift shop where I chatted with Stella at the counter and we talked about places to see around in Merced and in Yosemite. I bought a fridge magnet from the gift shop. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at the courthouse! :-)

As a Girl Scout leader, we were honored to put our Christmas tree up during their Christmas tree display. This gave us the opportunity to look around at the courthouse in a way I have not taken the time to do before, and I'm so glad we did. The kids were fascinated by the things they saw. We definitely encourage you to take a few minutes out of your day and appreciate the...
