Recent updates include the complete restoration of the historic clerk of court, auditor, and sheriff\u2019s offices as well as an electrical overhaul and the installation of new restrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Future plans include restoration of the second floor, including the courtroom,\u00a0 and installation of an elevator.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that the courthouse\u2019s restoration began about 30 years ago, as the late Mary Young and others formed a &#8220;Save The Courthouse Committee,&#8221; to save the historic structure from the wrecking ball, with the space planned for a parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>The initial restoration was the exterior of the building.<\/p>\n<p>She hopes the complete restoration will be accomplished by the summer of 2017, and open for public meetings, and gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>The North Dakota legislature in 2015 allocated $350,000 toward the restoration project, with the local committee in the process of fundraising with the goal of $75,000. Anyone wishing to make a donation may contact Barb Lang in Jamestown, or any 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse Committee member.<\/p>\n<p>The Stutsman County Courthouse was the location for meetings in the 1880s movement toward the creation of the state of North Dakota, and it remains the only building in North and South Dakota from the statehood movement. Notable for the pressed tin that adorns the walls and ceilings throughout the building, the courthouse is an architectural gem in the heart of Jamestown.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (CSi) \u2013 On May 14, 2016 &#8211; The State Historical Society of North Dakota and the 1883 Courthouse Committee opened\u00a0the doors to over\u00a0800 visitors at\u00a0 the historic structure for all to see.\u00a0 If you couldn&#8217;t attend, scroll down for a video taken before the doors opened.
