Text of sign:

Morgan County 

Morgan County was created in 1817 from parts of Washington, Muskingum, and Guernsey counties, with McConnelsville 

established as the seat of government. The first courthouse, a square brick structure, was built here in 1820. Its foundation stones 

form part of the wall surrounding the lawn. The present courthouse building was completed in 1858 at a cost of $10,000. This 

Greek Revival-style structure has had several major renovations since. The clock tower was added in 1886, and the building was 

enlarged and modernized in 1960.
