 1863 Courthouse With 1893 Addition |
COUNTY NAMED FOR: President Thomas Jefferson
COUNTY SEAT NAMED FOR: Hillsboro is the English equivalent of the Italian Monticello, home of President Thomas Jefferson. The founders of Jefferson County had hoped to use the name of the home of their county's namesake for the county seat, but that honor in Missouri had already been taken by Monticello in Lewis County.
STANDING: 1863 Courthouse that has been transformed by remodeling projects and additions completed in 1893, 1954, and 1975.
