An Ohio Historical Marker commemorating the First Courthouse in Greene County was dedicated at Alpha in Beavercreek on May 4, 2005.

The first courthouse was a log cabin, used as a courthouse in 1803 and 1804, that was located just south of Alpha in the area of the John Harbine home located along Route 35. The text shown on both sides of the marker has a small image of that first log cabin, pictured on Page 13 of the Beavercreek Chronicles.

The marker is now located at 751 Alpha Road in front of the old historic Alpha Mill near the bike path. This is the first such marker to be erected in the Beavercreek area, an effort undertaken by the Beavercreek Historical Society.

Administered by the Ohio Historical Society, the Historical Markers program enables Ohioans to commemorate and celebrate local history and to learn more about the State. Designed to be permanent and highly visible, the historic markers are large cast-aluminum signs that tell stories about aspects of Ohio's history.
