The Van Buren County Courthouse in Keosauqua, Iowa, built in 1843, is the oldest courthouse still standing in the state. Executed in Greek Revival architecture, it has served continuously as the county's sole courthouse since its construction. The building gained historical significance in 1845 when it hosted a trial that resulted in Iowa's first execution. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as part of the County Courthouses in Iowa Thematic Resource.
