Presidio County Courthouse

Things To Do in Marfa, Texas, USA

Mondays-Fridays 8 am – Noon; 1 -4 pm. 300 Highland Street.

Marfa is the Presidio County seat and this is an active, working courthouse. This Second Empire style building set in the courtyard square was renovated in 2001-2002. The exterior is covered in pink stucco and the octagonal dome is topped with a Lady Justice statue that is famously missing her scales. The interior features a central rotunda, beautiful woodwork, and a large old-fashioned courtroom. I recommend that visitors climb all the stairs to the top cupola for 360-views of this quirky community and the surrounding high plains desert. On my most recent visit to Marfa, I toured the inside of the courthouse for the first time and it was my favorite experience that trip.
