Old Courthouse

Host your next event at the same location where President Abraham Lincoln delivered an address, along with eight other presidents who have visited the location, including Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and William Jefferson Clinton. Old Court House is located in the heart of Dayton at the corner of Third and Main Streets. Its “flying staircase” spirals to the tall, remarkable dome ceilings, making a perfect photography opportunity for you and your bridal party. The round, classic courtroom space can seat up to 150 guests for a wedding ceremony, or 100 guests for a seated dinner reception.  The “Recorder’s Office” is a separate mid-sized space ideal for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or a buffet station. For parking options, our Event Coordinators can provide you with a contact list for local parking garages near Old Court House.
