Old Courthouse – 1848

Built in 1848 at a cost of $1,637, this courthouse replaced one built in 1839 that was burned in 1845. The courthouse now in use was built at Buena Vista, then Pea Ridge, in 1850 when the county seat was moved. The first courthouse in Marion County was at Horry. Members of Marion Lodge No. 14 F. & A.M., established in 1840, have met in this old courthouse since its construction, after previously meeting in the courthouse that burned. This courthouse now marks the exact center of the new city limits established by incorporation in 1953.
