On June 28, 1802, the court ordered the permanent seat of justice on the public square. The first courthouse was built in 1806. The present structure was designed by McDonald Bros., Louisville, and built by Wm. H. Hudson and Columbus Stone in 1887. A unique architectural feature is the carving of faces on the south columns. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
