Newberry Old Court House

The sisters flew to the town of Newberry, South Carolina, founded in 1789. In the town square they found the Old Court House built in 1853. The decoration at the top was done after the Fire of 1879 and was about Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War. The upturned palmetto tree is the uprooted South Carolina culture, the eagle clutching the scales of justice is the Federal government, and the gamecock is the still-proud South Carolinian people. Very complicated! Can you find the sisters?
