The North Lee County Courthouse is the oldest Iowa courthouse in continuous use. It was built in 1842. Our South Lee County Courthouse was completed in July of 1889 and served as the Post Office. At that time it was one of the most substantial and elegant federal buildings in the United States. Lee County purchased the building in 1980 and has since renovated it to preserve the original beauty.
Lee County has a very strong educational system.
Southeastern Community College has a campus in Keokuk. Lee County prides itself on its strong industrial base, its commitment to education, while maintaining its firm grip on its agricultural base. Throughout the year, Lee County sponsors special events and festivals unique to our geographic area.
