The Old Courthouse Museum is a former Warren County courthouse on a hill in Vicksburg, Mississippi, built in the Greek Revival style from 1800. William Weldon, an enslaved man, is credited as its architect. The building became a symbol of Confederate resistance during the Siege of Vicksburg, and since 1948 it has housed a museum focused on local history and the Confederacy.
