Old Johnson County Courthouse, Warrensburg, MO (2)
**Johnson County Courthouse** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 70000338, date listed 6/15/1970
Old Public Sq.
Warrensburg, MO (Johnson County)
The Old Johnson County Courthouse, under design and construction 1838-1841, has primary significance as one of the few surviving second quarter, nineteenth century, Federal style courthouses in Missouri. This significance is greatly enhanced by the fact that a high proportion of the original material is extant and the building is being restored. The courthouse has further significance as the scene of the somewhat unusual trial of Burden vs. Hornsby which occurred in 1869-1870.
The estimated cost of the building was $2,500, but the actual cost has been determined at $3 ,533.33. (1)
