The Georgian-style White County Courthouse located in Searcy is the oldest courthouse in Arkansas still being used for its original purpose. Completed in 1871, it was remodeled in 1912. As is typical of county courthouses, the grounds are home to a variety of monuments, including those honoring veterans of most of America’s wars. The building is covered in colored lights each December for Searcy’s “Festival of Lights.”
