Weston County Courthouse, Newcastle Wyoming




This is the Weston County Courthouse in Newcastle, Weston County, Wyoming. If this well preserved courthouse is not the oldest operating courthouse in the state, it must be very close to the oldest one still in use. The courthouse houses a courtroom of the 6th Judicial District, which also has a courthouse in Gillette, Wyoming.

  1. This courthouse has been on the news quite a bit recently as, sadly, it figures in a dramatic photograph of a forest fire burning just outside of Newcastle. I'm sure the courthouse is in no danger, but it makes for a dramatic photograph.
