Be sure to take a few moments to tour the rest of this beautiful building, which has currently undergone historic renovation.

The courtroom is located at the top of the front stairway near the main entrance to the courthouse.
While in Ouray, also known as the "Switzerland of America", take advantage of the many interesting sights to see and things to do. Enjoy the shops, galleries and restaurants, or soak in the hot springs pool after a day of hiking, jeeping, ice climbing, or skiing in the mountainous terrain surrounding the town.
