About the Sherman County Courthouse
Built in 1899, this "Queen Anne style" Courthouse serves as the hub for Sherman County's business, residents, developers, commissioners, and court cases. There are distinct four courts within this historic brick building in Moro, Oregon (Sherman County’s “county seat”):
- Circuit Court for DUII diversions or divorces.
- County Court for governing issues to take in front of the County Commissioner.
- Juvenile Court for juvenile crimes or child-custody cases.
- Justice Court for traffic tickets or small claims.
No matter the case, the Sherman County Courthouse is here to serve Sherman County’s courthouse needs. And if you'd like to learn more about this building's history, you'll find details in The Oregon Encyclopedia online.
