Van Wert County Court House
Built in 1876, the Van Wert County Court House celebrated its 130th birthday in 2006. The structure remains today much as it was built at a cost of $110,174. The pressed brick used to construct the Court House was made locally at a mill which had been located about where the Van Wert County Fairground is today. The building contains a clock whose bell weighs 2,000 pounds and whose clapper weighs 430 pounds. The Court House is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.
