On this courthouse square in 1790 Jesse Graddy built the first of the county's four courthouses, a log structure that cost $22.50 in total. James and Henry Thompkins completed the second courthouse, built of stone, in 1794. The third hall of justice, built of brick in 1812-13, had a cupola with a clock added by 1846, with other additions made later. That structure burned in 1965. The present courthouse was completed in 1970 by Gault Bros. of Lexington.
