The 1841 Goshen Courthouse is located along Church Street in the center of the Orange County seat. It was designed by popular local architect Thornton Niven in a Greek Revival style, meant to be a twin of the one he had already built in Newburgh, which at that time shared seat duties with the larger city.

It was used as a courthouse until 1970, when the recently-constructed Orange County Government Center made more space available. Today it houses the archives of the Orange County Genealogical Society.
