The Oneida County Courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places, and once you see it you'll know why. The green Tiffany-glass dome (yes, Louis Comfort Tiffany) is lit at night and is like a beacon when you drive into town in the dark. The inside of the dome is even more stunning. It has been very recently restored and is certainly worth a walkabout inside the building if you go on a weekday when it's open. There are also interesting murals and dioramas.

I grew up across the street from this landmark, so I thought I'd commemorate it with a letterbox.

On a weekday there really isn't any way to be casual about the search, other than to sit on the lawn next to the tree. Please replace it carefully, and enjoy the magic of Life in a Small Northern Town!
