Monday, October 27, 2025
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The Franklin County Commissioners and President Judge Shawn Meyers invite the public to join in a commemoration of the 160th anniversary of Franklin County’s Historic Courthouse during a special ceremony.

As part of the ceremony, the county will place a time capsule into the base of the Benjamin Franklin statue in the Judicial Center. The capsule contains the winning entries from a countywide competition that asked local students to share what they love about Franklin County with future generations.

Representatives of the Council for the Arts will also be on hand to discuss local artists’ work to create two massive, two-story murals as part of the Judicial Center’s design.
