Old Buffalo County Courthouse (Fountain City, Wisconsin)

This structure was erected in 1853 as the house of Henry Goerke on a hill overlooking the Mississippi River in Fountain City. In the fall of 1854, the building was used as the first Buffalo County Courthouse. It was used as such until 1859 when the county seat was removed to Alma. It is used today as a residence and is considered one of the oldest structures in the county.
