Perched on a hilltop in Long Prairie, Minnesota, the Todd County Courthouse is an Italianate structure built in 1883 that serves as the seat of government for Todd County. Its street-level stone entryway and retaining wall were added in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration. Originally anchored by a sheriff's residence with an attached jailhouse erected in 1900 to the southwest—both since demolished—the complex was recognized in 1985 on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit as a distinguished example of Italianate public design and its enduring role in county administration. Modern buildings have been integrated into the hillside adjacent to and behind the main courthouse.
