Lane County Courthouse

Dighton, KS

Lane County Courthouse

The courthouse was built in 1931 of yellow brick with limestone trim in the Modern Eclecticism style. On either side of the main entrance two limestone bas-relief panels depict the town’s cultural heritage. They were sculpted by well-known Hays artist Pete Felten for the Dighton centennial. The courtroom is rich in historic ornamentation, boasting a large painting of a sod house created in 1961 by local artist Mary A. Bosley for the state centennial. A display case at the courtroom entrance contains items confiscated at an earlier time including alcohol (moonshine), drug paraphernalia, and weapons. Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
