Old Russell County Courthouse, also known as the Dickenson-Fugate House, is a historic courthouse building located near Dickensonville, Russell County, Virginia. It consists of a simple stone court house built about 1799, attached to the side of a more sophisticated brick farmhouse, which probably dates from the second quarter of the 19th century. Both sections are two stories and three bays wide and the brick section has a rear ell. It served as the second location for the Russell County courthouse, until the county seat moved to Lebanon in 1818.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
