Step into the “Grand Old Lady” of Crown Point — built in 1878 and expanded in the early 1900s, this courthouse has stood as the heart of Lake County history. Saved from demolition in the 1970s, it remains a symbol of community pride. From presidential speeches on its steps to John Dillinger’s infamous 1934 escape from the county jail, the courthouse carries stories of both local and national significance. Today, it stands as a museum, cultural hub, and architectural treasure on the National Register of Historic Places.
