Since 1839, the Courthouse Square has been the hub of Berrien Springs and the heart of Berrien County, first as the county’s first government complex and later as a school, church, and now as a historic site. While on the grounds, you can explore the communities of our county, step back into the days of the pioneers, and even test your strength in our forge. No matter what you are looking for, the History Center at Courthouse Square has it all. Learn more about our historic buildings and how they came to be part of the Courthouse Square.
