UPDATED 11/14/24  The Woodson County Courthouse's elevator is experiencing issues. The parts are hard to find due to the age of the system, and they must be manufactured to fit the elevator. The parts have been ordered and should be installed in 12-14 weeks. If you need to perform transactions in the Courthouse and cannot do so without the elevator, please call the office you need to access, and they will assist you.

 

 

 

 

 

                                            The Woodson County Courthouse located in Yates Center was built in 1899.
