Fulton County Court House
Adirondack Trail, State Rt. 30A, near Johnstown in Fulton County
The Fulton County courthouse is the oldest working courthouse in New York State.
The courthouse was only partially finished when, on September 8, 1772, the first Court of General Sessions to be held west of Albany was convened at this site. Since then, cosmetic and sanitary improvements have dramatically been made, but the Fulton County Court House, built as the Tryon County Court House in 1772 and renamed the Montgomery County Court House after the Revolutionary War, still stands and is used for the daily exercise of justice. The only Colonial Courthouse still in use in the State of New York.
