Pershing County Courthouse
Lovelock's courthouse was inspired by Rome’s Pantheon. On its grounds you can symbolically lock your passion on a chain for all eternity in Lover's Lock Plaza, which is actually nothing like it sounds.

Plaza in Lovelock
Lover's Lock Plaza
Amazingly, some couples actually do come to Lovelock to symbolically lock their love (a padlock) onto this cheesy monument: a steel chain encircling a gaudy plaque. It's behind the Pershing County Courthouse.
