The Rowan County Courthouse is located in the center of the commercial
district of the small northeastern town of Morehead. The building is situated on a small square bounded by streets on all sides. Set back from the street with an expanse of land in front and to the sides, the courthouse is the prominent site of the commercial district.
The present courthouse was constructed in 1899 at a cost of several thousand dollars, and replaced a smaller two-story frame structure.
The Rowan County Fiscal Court in December 1982, officially sanctioned the efforts undertaken by citizens in the county to preserve and restore the local landmark. On January 27, 1983, the Rowan County Courthouse Preservation Committee, Incorporated, was officially incorporated for the express purpose of preserving and restoring the courthouse, and to raise funds to accomplish this goal.
