The Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance shined its latest Tourism Spotlight on the Hardin County Courthouse in downtown Kenton.

It was designed by the architectural firm of Richards, McCarty & Bulford and built in 1915.

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.
