The third and current Livingston Courthouse was built in 1875 and each of the four corners has a tower. The clock tower was added in 1892. It was placed on National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

A young Abraham Lincoln can be found taking a break on the courthouse south lawn in honor of his many visits to Pontiac between 1810-1860. Check out his stovepipe Top Hat on the fence post! Can you say "Photo-op"?
