Union County Courthouse (Historic)
A Late Victorian courthouse built in 1886 in downtown Monroe, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971 and restored for office use after a new courthouse opened in 1972.
What it is
The historic Union County Courthouse is a two-story Late Victorian building with a large cupola, located on Courthouse Square in the Monroe Downtown Historic District. It is typically closed to the public but the City occasionally offers guided interior tours.
Before you go
The building is not generally open for walk-in visits; the City of Monroe has periodically offered pre-registered exterior/interior tours during Preservation Month.
Hours, prices and menus change — confirm them with the official website before visiting.
Where it is
Union County Courthouse (Historic) is at Courthouse Square, Monroe, NC 28112. It is in Monroe, not inside the Town of Indian Trail — we list it because it is worth the drive for a change of scene. It is open to the public. Use the directions link for the route from your own starting point; we don't publish drive times we haven't measured.
