Since 1815, three separate buildings have served as the Gibson County Courthouse in Princeton, Gibson County, Indiana, United States. The current building was constructed in 1884 and is located at the intersection of Indiana State Road 64 and Indiana State Road 65. It is an example of Romanesque Revival architecture and was the model for Department 56's Original Snow Village Courthouse.[2] Gibson County's Courthouse is of very similar design to the Johnson County Courthouse in Franklin, Indiana.[3]
