YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – As part of the America 250 celebration, the Mahoning County Courthouse will open its doors to visitors for guided tours that will offer a unique look at the building’s 115-year history and architectural features.
Built in 1910, the courthouse stands as an example of Beaux-Arts architecture and reflects the region’s industrial strength and civic pride at the turn of the 20th century.
