During the Opening Retreat earlier this month, five teams participated in a Scavenger Hunt. One of the tasks was to draft a poem about the Jefferson County Courthouse. The poem is impressive when read by someone with a radio voice:
The first court house was built in 1803
It was really something, a marvel to see.
The first, of a sort, for labor and coal
For a town in Jefferson, it's really the soul.
First used for bondage, then for salvation
After John Brown took a stand for the Nation.
His was not the last treason trial it would see
Two in the end that made history
The Court house will change soon, as the area grows
And how will that change us? Only history knows.
