Chickasaw County Courthouse

Chickasaw County Courthouse is a county administrative building in New Hampton constructed from Bedford stone with Streamline Moderne design features dating to the 1930s. The structure houses county offices and public record facilities that serve residents and visitors.

The building was constructed between 1929 and 1930 by Ralston & Ralston architects from Waterloo, replacing three earlier county administration buildings. Its construction followed the relocation of the county seat from Bradford to New Hampton in 1857.

The courthouse sits at the heart of New Hampton and serves as a gathering place where residents conduct official business and access county records. The building reinforces the town's role as the administrative hub of the county.

The courthouse is located in downtown New Hampton and easily accessible for visitors. Public areas are generally open during business hours for viewing administrative offices and accessing records.

Local citizens of New Hampton contributed funding toward construction of the courthouse to secure their town's position as the county seat. This community investment was decisive in keeping the administrative functions from moving elsewhere.
