Historic Courthouse

Walk down the hallway and enter the swinging doors into the courtroom of the old days. This quiet sun-filled room, warm with the original golden oak furnishings, is a great place to sit quietly and reflect on justice then and now. The Courthouse is hidden from view by the Hall of Records. The Brick Classical Revival Courthouse was built by William Maloney in 1867, at a cost of $14,300.

The courthouse was in use for 99 years. Today the Courthouse is still in use and is a walk-through museum with exhibits including the original Law Library, Judges Chambers, and the courtroom where Black Bart was tried.
