The cornerstone was removed in 1885 from the third Jack County Courthouse when the building was razed and was mounted here in 1966. The old courthouse was built of native limestone quarried in Jacksboro, and for its day its workmanship and stone were of the finest quality. The bell is also a relic of the third courthouse. It was part of the mechanism in the building's clock tower and was mounted in a frame here by Jacksboro firemen.
