Hardin County Courthouse
𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐌 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓: The Hardin County Courthouse was designed by the architectural firm of Richards, McCarty & Bulford and built in 1915. Located at One Courthouse Square in the county seat of Kenton, the building is still in use and today houses the Hardin County Court of Common Pleas and its probate and juvenile divisions.
The building was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1979, and a state historical marker was placed on the courthouse lawn in 1996. The courthouse features neo-classical style architecture and is constructed of Indian gray limestone. Additional unique features include a skylight with stained glass, multiple murals and chandeliers made of brass work.
The courthouse is unique because it houses Veteran Hall, which commemorates Hardin County patriots. One of the patriots honored is Jacob Parrott, the first recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Parrot was a Union soldier during the American Civil War and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his participation in a military operation called “The Great Locomotive Chase” that included the destruction of bridges and train tracks between Chattanooga and Atlanta.
