Luzerne County Courthouse
Best time to visit
Weekday mornings when the building is quiet and courtrooms are less likely to be in session, making photography and wandering easier. Late spring and fall give pleasant exterior light and fewer visitors.
Budget tips
Free to enter public areas during business hours, though security screening is required; bring a photo ID. Save on parking by using metered street parking or nearby municipal lots rather than private garages.

About
त्वरित तथ्य: Step inside and your shoes will echo across marble floors beneath a soaring rotunda, while brass fixtures catch light in flashes as you move. A series of ornate courtrooms shows off hand-carved woodwork and original stained glass, details that often surprise visitors who expect a plain civic building.
मुख्य आकर्षण: Stand beneath the central dome on a sunny afternoon and warm, honeyed light pours through colored glass, painting the floor in jewel-tones that shift with the hour. A longtime local tradition keeps a guest ledger in the clerk's office where visitors and jurors leave fountain-pen signatures and short notes, a tangible thread of names and ink spanning decades.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, respectful clothing for security and occasional courtroom visits.
- Bring a photo ID and expect a bag check and metal detector on entry.
- Photograph the exterior clock tower and the main staircase for the best angles, avoid flash inside courtrooms.
- Visit mid-morning on weekdays to avoid jury duty waits and school groups.
