History

When the new courthouse was opened in 1998, the old courthouse was declared "surplus" and slated for sale and disposal. The Douglas County Tourism and History Commission persuaded the Board of Commissioners to save the building because of its unique architectural style and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Old Courthouse now houses the Douglas County Museum of History and Art.
