TISHOMINGO COUNTY COURTHOUSE
 

Jacinto Courthouse

Jacinto was the county seat of Old Tishomingo County until 1870 when the area was divided into present day Alcorn, Prentiss, and Tishomingo Counties. It was then used as a school until 1908 and then as a Methodist Church until 1960. In 1964 volunteers saved it from destruction. It is located off of Mississippi Highway 356 south in Alcorn County.

Tishomingo County Courthouse

The first courthouse of present day Tishomingo is located at the corner of S Fulton Street and E Quitman Street in Iuka.  The structure was completed in 1870 and can be seen in the photo to the left.  In 1886, a fire destroyed the upper floor of the structure.

Legend has it that the fire was started to destroy evidence being stored for an upcoming murder trial.  Sheriff Zephinia H Woodall was is office at the time.

Old Historic County Courthouse

Prior to the discovery of the previous photo, it was originaly beleived that the fire completely destoyed the building.  However, it appearsthat only the upper floor was destroyed.  The building larger remained intact.  The WPA constructed the two-story addition shown in this photo.

Current Tishomingo County Courthouse

The current courthouse was constructed in 1971.  It is located at 1008 Battleground Drive in Iuka.
