The Cedar County Courthouse in Hartington, Nebraska dates from 1891. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]

Out of 18 "County Capitol" type courthouses built in Nebraska during 1888 to 1907, this one is relatively unusual for having a tower in a corner, rather than centered.[2]: 4 

It is a Romanesque Revival-style building. It was designed by J. C. Stitt, an untrained architect from Norfolk, Nebraska.[2][3]
