The Guernsey County courthouse comes alive nightly with tens of thousands of colorful lights computer synchronized to both traditional and contemporary holiday music beginning November 1st through January 1st of the new year. This magnificent historical 1881 building jumps into the 21st Century as it is bathed in more than 85,000 lights, an amazing twenty three foot Christmas tree and 60 animated displays. Each hour features a wide variety of music including children’s, contemporary and traditional Christmas favorites.
