Noblesville Courthouse Square
Historic downtown square
About
Downtown Noblesville is built around the Hamilton County Courthouse and its square, bounded by Logan, Conner, 8th and 9th streets. The blocks around it have antique and boutique shops, art studios, coffee shops and locally owned restaurants. Noble Coffee & Tea is on Logan Street, and NobleMade, a gift shop of local work, is at 839 Conner.
It's also part of the Noblesville Cultural Arts District. Noblesville Creates, a block south, has galleries and artists' studios. The Hamilton County Museum of History is at 810 Conner Street, open Fridays and Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The White River riverwalk is a short walk from the courthouse lawn.
History
The courthouse went up from 1877 to 1879, in the Second Empire style with a clock tower. The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 1978. In 1925, Ku Klux Klan leader D.C. Stephenson was tried and convicted of murder in its courtroom. The Santa House on the square goes back to the 1960s, and the historical society runs it today.
When to go
Noblesville Main Street's 2026 calendar has Small Business Saturday on November 28 and Deck the Downtown on December 4, 4 to 8 p.m. A Holiday Market on December 12 is listed as soon to be announced. The Saturday farmers market, held at Federal Hill Commons, ended for the year on October 10.
We couldn't find 2026 dates for the Lighting of the Square or the Santa House, so check with the Noblesville Chamber and the historical society closer to the season.
Good to know
The city's Embrace Downtown project is widening sidewalks and adding brick pavers on Logan Street beside the courthouse. The target finish is November 2026, weather permitting. During this work Logan Street has been closed from east of 8th Street through 9th Street, with no parking on that block, and a 6-foot sidewalk stays open along the shops. Check the project site for the latest detours before you drive in.
Price
Walking the square is free. Shops, restaurants and some events charge their own prices.
Prices checked November 2026 on the website of Noblesville Main Street. They can change, so check before you go.
