 The
1892 Shelby County Courthouse and the surrounding
buildings are all listed in the National Register of
Historic places effective September 23, 1994.
The Courthouse sits in as the center of the Historic
Courthouse Square district with 51 buildings surrounding
it. Of the 51 buildings, 19 were built before 1892;
27 were built between 1892-1902; and only 5 were built
after 1902. In addition to the buildings, the district
includes two monuments. As a result, the district conveys
a very strong sense of what the Harlan commercial district
looked like in the 1890s-early 1900s when commercial
development was at its peak.
Today the Square is full of delightful specialty shops,
has an international flavor for your dining experience and
offers a walking tour.
If you would like more information about the walking tour
please contact the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce -
