In this episode I interview Julie Kimmer, who has been the Manager of the Courthouse Square Museum in Charlotte, Michigan for over 20 years.  The museum is located in downtown Charlotte, and the building's cornerstone was placed in the center of the town square in 1883.  In 1885, the courthouse officially opened to the public.  It was in operation for 10 years before a fire gutted the building and much of the inside paintings and walls.  It was reconstructed and returned to operation, and remained so until 1976 when a newer larger building was established in another part of town.  The building then became a museum, and the grounds also include the 1873 Sherriff's Residence, and the museum also manages the former 1845 Courthouse which is located in Bennett Park today.

We discuss the history of the building, some of the exhibits, some local stories and even some amazing events coming in 2022.
