Event Description

By the 1950s Ann Arbor had outgrown its old, ornate courthouse. The 1877 structure was falling into disrepair, but stipulations limited its relocation. So our city’s leaders embarked upon a novel solution: constructing a new building right around the old!

LEGO builder extraordinaire David Lorch will be recreating our court’s unique construction with hands-on help. Attendees will assemble the large-scale LEGO model of the newer courthouse surrounding the older courthouse’s LEGO replica.

This event is part of Ann Arbor 200, the Ann Arbor District Library’s celebration of our city’s bicentennial.

For kids in grades K-Adult. Held in 3rd Floor Open Area
