The Nuckolls County Courthouse is a historic two-story building in Nelson, Nebraska, and the courthouse of Nuckolls County, Nebraska. The county court proceedings were held in two other buildings prior to its construction: in a courthouse built in 1873, and in the Nelson opera house built in 1887.[2] The third building and current courthouse was built in 1890, and designed in the Classical Revival style by architect George E. McDonald.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 10, 1990.[1]
