Guernsey County Courthouse

The Guernsey County Courthouse is a three-story administrative building in Cambridge housing separate divisions for General, Domestic Relations, Juvenile, and Probate courts. Each division occupies its own space within this central judicial facility where different types of legal matters are handled.

The building was constructed in downtown Cambridge and later recognized on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit. This designation honors it as a significant example of American architectural heritage in the region.

The courthouse functions as a civic space where local residents fulfill jury duty, taking part in legal proceedings that affect their community. This practice connects citizens directly to the judicial system and gives them a voice in how justice works.

The building operates on weekdays and offers services including document filing and case processing. Visitors should expect to move through security procedures typical of court facilities before accessing public areas.

The facility houses a specialized Drug Court Program focused on non-violent offenders seeking recovery and rehabilitation. Rather than standard prosecution, the program emphasizes rebuilding lives through treatment and support services.
