BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — If you've ever wanted to get a deeper look inside the historic Wood County Courthouse, now you can.

The Wood County Commissioners and the Wood County Common Pleas Court are inviting the public to explore the courthouse during guided tours.

The tours will take place Saturday, Sept. 14 from 1-4 p.m. as part of the Ohio Open Doors program.

The tours are said to take place every 30 minutes and will be led by former Wood County auditor Mike Sibbersen, Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn and Wood County Common Pleas Judge Matthew Reger.

Tours must be reserved ahead of time by emailing Aaron Krukowski at akrukowski@woodcountyohio.gov or by calling Judge Reger's office at 419-354-9210.

The Wood County Courthouse is still used as a courthouse after it first opened on Sept. 29, 1896. 

"The beautifully landscaped three-story building features large painted murals of historic Wood County, Italian marble walls, grand staircase and immense stained glass on the barrel-vaulted ceiling."
