The Benton County Courthouse is a county courthouse building featuring neoclassical design with symmetrical shapes and grand columns across its facade. Balanced proportions and formal architectural details create the stately appearance expected of an important governmental structure.
The building was designed by architect Albert O. Clark in the early twentieth century as part of the region's growth in governmental infrastructure. Its construction reflected the county's need for a proper civic institution to handle expanding legal and administrative duties.
The courthouse serves as the civic heart where residents gather for legal matters and community decisions. It reflects how important local government and the justice system remain to people living in Benton County.
The building is located in central Bentonville and is easily accessible by foot or car. Visitors should plan to arrive during regular business hours when public areas are open and normal courthouse operations are underway.
