Viewing Wright County Jail and Courthouse (1880 & 1915).

Wright County Jail and Courthouse (1880 & 1915).

In 1859 Wright County's first jail was built in Monticello, the county seat. Eight years later, however, the county seat was relocated to Buffalo, and the jail abandoned. On January 1, 1878, almost twenty-three years after the county was formed, county officials occupied a new courthouse in Buffalo.

The first history of the county jail and courthouse was written by Daniel Ross Farnham and published in 1880. The second appeared in a county history edited by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge and published in 1915. Both are posted in this article.
