The Mississippi County Courthouse, a Neoclassical building erected in 1912 on land donated by Judge W.J. Driver, was constructed of unusual brick and features a flat roof supporting a copper dome with large concrete terra cotta decorations and round polished inserts on the face. Columns on the front and moldings at the top add to its beauty. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it houses much of Mississippi County's history, including contentious political battles to implement a drainage system that enabled the area to become the largest cotton producing county in the world.
