In 1994, the Courthouse Foundation Board of Directors, in an effort to open the building to the public and to create an viable income, approved a proposal to start a retail art & craft shop in the old Treasurer's Office on the first floor. Called, The Treasury, this endeavor benefits not only the Historic 1908 Courthouse, but also the prolific artistic community of this region.


	*Today, The Treasury* has over 100 contributing artists and artisans from all over the region. Courthouse Foundation Board Member, Lee Lang, voluntarily manages the shop and the staff.
