So in looking at these dates looks like no court House from 1863 until 1870 or at least not much of a one...probably housed as a temp one until new one built in 1870 Harlan Co, Court House built 1st: 1820; 2nd, 1838; 3rd, 1870; 4th, 1888; 5th, 1922. Disasters: 1863 Imagine this is Civil War or there abt.. as have heard it was rough in Harlan Co during Civel War
