Old Meigs County Courthouse
The Old Meigs County Courthouse is a historic former government building in the small community of Chester, Ohio, United States.

Following a restoration in the 1950s, it was designated a historic site in the 1970s along with an adjacent school; the two buildings are operated together as a museum.
