Did you know? . The Jefferson County Courthouse was erected in 1939 and is the fifth courthouse to be located on the site. The first courthouse was built of logs in 1819 and cost $160 to complete. The building had one window and one door. . The second courthouse completed in 1829, cost $780.93. One morning in 1839, the town awoke to find the courthouse had fallen, “and there was a hole in one side large enough to drive through with a wagon.” . The third courthouse building was built. This courthouse served Jefferson County well, until it was damaged by fire in the 1870s, and then destroyed by the infamous tornado of 1888. Once the rubble was cleared and the townspeople were able to turn their thoughts to rebuilding, the fourth courthouse was erected, and it served the people of Jefferson County for 50 years. . . . #bicentennialtriviatuesday #EnjoyMtVernon #SouthernIllinois #Missouri #Tennessee #Indiana #Arkansas #Kentucky #Iowa #Michigan #Wisconsin #ChicagoIllinois #BloomingtonIllinois #StLouisMissouri #EffinghamIllinois #PaducahKentucky #mtvil200 #tourism #MtVernonIllinois #family #roadtrip #carrides #familyvacation #businesstrip #convention #weddingvenues #wedddingplanning #enjoyillinois
