Grant County Courthouse – Williamstown, Ky.


Today I decided to travel up to Grant County on a little bit of what remains of the Dixie Highway (U.S. 25). For anyone living in Lexington, the next time you head up to Cincinnati, I highly recommend the route. It basically weaves around under I-75, but like many of the old highways in this country, the road follows the terrain instead of blasting through it. It’s a beautiful drive through the Bluegrass, and there are tons of great now-defunct roadside stores and shops to check out.
The courthouse above bears the date 1937 on its cornerstone, and is about to be “the old courthouse,” as there is a huge judicial center being constructed down the street. It’s pictured here below.
