The Eureka Courthouse Gallery Hall The Eureka Court House Gallery Hall is a hall on the South side of the Eureka County Court House in Eureka. The hall was created as a result of rennovations to the courthouse and is now being used as an art space. Traveling art shows are hung in this gallery for varying periods of time. We invite you to come enjoy the exhibits as they travel through the historic courthouse. We are also in the process of assembling a permanent Courthouse Collection.
