The former Lincoln County Courthouse, 69 Lacour St., is better known as the Million Dollar Courthouse. Although contracted and budgeted at a cost of $16,400 in the early 1870s, cost overruns, graft and bond interest had ballooned that figure to almost $1 million by the time the debt was finally paid off in 1936. By then the courthouse had been condemned; the building and the four lots on which it stood were sold 25 years later for $150. Now restored, it contains a re-created jail, courthouse and district attorney's office as well as town memorabilia and a mining exhibit; phone (775) 962-5544 or (775) 962-5426.
