(KNZA)--The 100th anniversary of the construction of the Jackson County Courthouse will be celebrated during the Falls Fest Saturday in Holton.

The Jackson County Commission will host a special ribbon-cutting cermony on the east side of the Courthouse at 10:00 that morning. Free cake will be provided to note the anniversary.

Guided tours of the Courthouse will be offered at 9 and 11 in the morning and 1:00 in the afternoon. Those interested in participating in the tours are asked to meet inside on the first floor of the Courthouse.
