The theme of 2022's Historic Preservation Month in Benton County is "More Than Ever, This Place Matters."
Benton County Courthouse Tour - Tour this 1888 beauty. The oldest courthouse in the state that has been in continuous operation, this courthouse is a regional icon and graces the logos of both Benton County and the City of Corvallis. The interior and furnishings have been respectfully preserved. Guide: Jill Van Buren.
This tour is limited to 15 people. Jill Van Buren is willing to schedule another tour if more people are interested. Sign up with Inga.Williams@co.benton.or.us. This tour requires going through the Courthouse security scanner. Do not bring in any sharp objects and you may wish to leave your purse in the car as a time saver.
