Ingham County Courthouse in Mason

The city of Mason was so named after our first governor, Stevens T Mason. Just a few miles south of Lansing, Mason became Ingham's county seat in 1840 and is the ONLY site in the nation where the state capitol is not located in its county seat. The County Courthouse is a beautiful site to behold. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is open for tours Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm.
