JACKSON, Mo., (KBSI) — Cape Girardeau County will hold an open house Thursday, Oct. 9, from 3 to 6 p.m. to showcase renovations to the historic 1908 Courthouse.

The building, once occupied by county officials and Missouri courts, has been reconfigured to serve as administrative offices for the County Commission, Clerk, Auditor, Treasurer, Public Administrator, Human Resources and Highway Department.

Improvements include replacement of the courthouse’s distinctive copper dome, restoring the building’s original appearance while improving durability. Modern upgrades throughout the interior provide a more efficient workspace for county staff.

The event will feature guided tours, information about the restoration process and light refreshments. Community members, local leaders and history enthusiasts are invited to attend.
