"THE OLD COURTHOUSE"
is located in Jefferson National Expansion
Park. The original courthouse was built in
1826 and the existing building was started
in 1839 and finishedin 1862 after several
modifications over the years.

Two of the many important trials held here
were: Dred Scott's fight for the freedom
of slavery Virginia Louisa Minor's fight
for the right to vote.
