Extremely unhelpful, the camera they use for drivers license photos was down when I got there and called 2 days later due to weather and asked if the camera was back up, they then said they basically weren’t going to check until I was their to get my license renewed if the camera worked and it is over a half hour round drive and very bad weather but my deadline is coming up

Lincoln County, MN Courthouse (#54 visited ch): A classic box with pillars design. At least the eagle on top of the entrance is cool
