Adair County Courthouse

The courthouse features limestone and brick construction with a combination of Neoclassical and Art Deco architectural elements across its three-story structure.

The current building, completed in 1930, replaced three previous courthouses, with the last one destroyed by fire on December 30, 1929.

The cornice contains molded bas-relief figures that represent American Indians wearing traditional headdresses, reflecting the region's Native American heritage.

Located at Courthouse Square, the building continues to function as the center of county government operations and legal proceedings for Adair County.

The marble war memorial on the courthouse lawn, dedicated in 1992, honors local residents who died in four major conflicts of the 20th century.
