Pierce Courthouse, also known as Pierce Historic Site, is a historic wooden building located in Pierce, Idaho. It was built in 1862 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
The courthouse, and the town of Pierce itself, is named after Elias D. Pierce, a local metal prospector active in the mid-19th century. Later the town of Pierce became the Shoshone County (Washington Territory) seat. The Pierce Courthouse housed governmental functions until 1885.[2]
The site is operated by the Idaho State Historical Society.
