Lafayette County Wisconsin Details
Lafayette County, Wisconsin is a wonderful place to visit year round. Driving along the miles of country roads through the rolling hills of Lafayette County, you will soon discover the bounty and rich history our southwestern Wisconsin county has to offer. Early 20th century architecture is carefully preserved in our cities and villages that were born of lead mining settlements in the 1800's. Blessed with the fertile soil of our region, farming continues as the primary enterprise of Lafayette County. We have welcomed industries that have found growth and prosperity which can be attributed to our ability to accommodate new business, and a strong work ethic. One of the most interesting historic sites in Lafayette County is the Lafayette County Courthouse. The Lafayette County Courthouse was built between 1905 and 1907 at a total cost of $136,556.17. When Mr. Matt Murphy from Benton, Wisconsin, died in 1903, he bequested that 70% of his estate be used toward the construction of a County Courthouse. Today, Lafayette County has the distinction of having the only Courthouse still in use in the United States that was paid solely by one man. Lafayette County is also the home of Wisconsin's first State Capitol located just outside Belmont, Wisconsin. This Capitol and Supreme Court building were in use only once during the 1836 session before the Capitol moved to Madison.
