Every state in the US has a capitol, but each one is built different and uniquely serves as a symbol of the people and culture of that state. A county courthouse is similar: almost every one of the 3000+ counties in the US has one, but each looks different and symbolizes the unique qualities of that jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>When traveling from point A to point B, I enjoy taking the path less traveled and visiting different landscapes and towns. After that particular road trip, I decided to start documenting my travels by collecting counties. According to Wikipedia, <b>county collecting<\/b> is defined as &#8220;keeping track of the counties and other major census divisions one has visited in the United States.&#8221; I take it a step further and aim to visit every county seat and photograph the courthouse, which is then subsequently updated on this site.<\/p>\n\n<p>The map below displays all counties I have checked off thus far, along with the year I visited. Have I visited your home county? Which county&#8217;s courthouse is your favorite?
