Bourbon County Courthouse
The current building is Bourbon County's fourth courthouse. Construction of the building began in 1901 and was completed in 1905 at a cost of $170,000. Designed by noted South Carolina architect Frank Milburn, the courthouse was modeled on the U.S. Capitol and its design provided inspiration for the South Carolina capitol building which Milburn later designed.
The building has been lovingly maintained and carefully restored and is considered by many to be the finest county courthouse in the state. There are four murals on the interior of the dome which depict the four seasons of farming in Kentucky and the upstairs courtroom is well worth a visit.
Location:
Courthouse Square, Paris
Open to the public 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday except holidays
