[2] In 2007, the Courthouse site was selected for the location of the new Jackson County Public Library.

The Jackson County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

It served as the main county jail until a big red brick structure was built between it and the courthouse in 1963.

The new building will replace a small, sad, one story structure with a meager floorspace of 6,000SQ FT that was built in 1970 on Main Street.

It will have an Auditorium in the former courtroom and it will also become the showplace of the county, and has had new windows and doors installed as part of the restoration.
