It was given to the Marshall County Historical Society and a new courthouse was constructed next door. The old courtroom remains much as it was, with oak woodwork, stained glass windows and the original seats for spectators, each with a hat holder under the seat. Other rooms in the museum contain antiques and memorabilia furnished by surrounding towns. The Blue Rapids room tells the story of the neaarby gypsum mine, in operation for over a century and now owned by Georgia-Pacific. There are also re-creations of an early school room, medical and dental offices, and a newspaper print shop.
