Constructed in 1820-21, the County's original government seat was the first frame building in Milford Center. At the timeit stood at the southwest corner of the Village square (present day Mill and State Streets) just to the south of George Reed's mill (from which the Village is named). Following the relocation of the County Seat to Marysville, the original of this building was used as a commercial building and later moved to become a residence (lived in until 1907) at what is now the vacant lot immdeiately to the east of 148 West State Street. In 1907 the original was retored and moved to the Union County Fairbgrounds in Marysville where it was subsequently destroyed. This replica of the original courthouse was constructed, from photos and line sketches, by the Village of Milford Center as a part of the celebration of Ohio;s bicentennial in 2003. The Village is indebted to the following volunteers for this construction: Maurice "Mac" McCarty, Ronald "Red" Barker, Ron Barker, Ray Chappelear, and Ronaly Payne.
