(La Porte, IN) - It’s Christmas again at the historic courthouse in downtown La Porte.  More lighted displays, including a replica of the courthouse, were added in 2020 to help lift the spirits of people dampened by the pandemic.

 

All of the displays were made by a private company that used a picture of the courthouse to create the lighted replica of the 1892 red sandstone building, officials said.

 

There are enough lights to make it seem almost like daylight on the courthouse sidewalks at night.

 

Many people gaze at the lights while driving by or stop and get out of their vehicles to get a closer glimpse of the displays.
