Washington County Historic Courthouse
The Washington County Historic Courthouse


John McKusick deeds the land on the corner of Chestnut and Fourth Streets to the City of Stillwater. This land is chosen as the site for a courthouse and construction is completed in August of 1849. This building serves the county well for over 15 years, until the larger Washington County Courthouse is built upon "Zion's Hill" in 1870.
