Gov.
Paul Patton and Elkton Mayor John E. Walton, left, examined one of the huge,
circular, brick support columns in the old Todd County courthouse during the
Governor's visit to Todd County on October 6.
The courthouse in the center of the Elkton town square was built in 1835
and is one of the state's oldest. City
and county governments are in the process of restoring the historical structure,
with the help of $220,000 in federal grant money distributed by state
government.
