History

The Old Morris County Courthouse in Daingerfield was built in 1882 as the first seat of government for Morris County, which had been split off from an adjacent county in 1875. Designed by Peterson & Stuckey and modeled on the Franklin County courthouse, it has an efficient eighteen-room plan with corner windows to maximize natural light and ventilation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, was later used as the Morris County Museum, and was superseded by a new courthouse built in 1972.
