"Johnson County's first courthouse was a wooden structure built in 1859. It is unclear how long that building was used. The county's present courthouse was built in 1895. It was remodeled in 1938, at which time the clock tower was reduced in size and substantially altered. A major restoration of the courthouse was completed in 1996."
