LYON COUNTY COURTHOUSE
Eddyville, Kentucky
Lyon County, the 102nd county in Kentucky to be
established, was carved out of the southeastern sec-
tion of Caldwell County and named in honor of
Crittenden Lyon. In 1854 an election was called,
Caldwell County divided, and the land became Lyon
County on March 6, 1854, with Eddyville being
chosen as the county seat. This courthouse was built
in 1962 at an initial cost of $140,000.00.
