Our first time in the Old Courthouse in the Monroe Museum. (Our new home.)




This is the Monroe County Heritage Museum where we are welcome to meet & greet people and help them with their family history as many days a week as we'd like!  Because Jim & Minion Smith and Leon & Sharon Christensen preceded us as Sr. Missionaries here, the staff has welcomed us with open arms! This is the courthouse used in the movie, To Kill A Mocking Bird. The author is 92 but still lives here. Her father practiced law in this courthouse, & she watched him from this balcony! Volunteer townspeople have performed the To Kill a Mocking Bird play here in the courthouse each summer for the last 25 years!
