The Haralson County Courthouse, located on Courthouse Square in Buchanan, Georgia, is a historic Queen Anne style building built in 1891-92. It was designed by Alexander C. Bruce and Thomas H. Morgan, Bruce & Morgan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] The courthouse served as the county courthouse from 1892 to 1972; a modern courthouse less than a mile away has since replaced it.[2]

The old courthouse building currently serves as a museum and the location of the Haralson County Historical Society.[2]
