We were in Giddings, Texas, over the weekend, helping out with the Big Texas MS-150 Bicycle ride on the La Grange to College Station route. We spent the night in Giddings and spotted this beautiful brick courthouse. This is the Lee County Courthouse.
Naturally, we had to power up a drone and check it out. Being on a Saturday, the courthouse was closed and there weren’t any pedestrians for us to worry about flying above while we did this.
The original courthouse was built in 1878, burned down in 1897, and rebuilt in 1897 using convict labor. See video for more details.
