Touring the Moyer Judicial Center

Nearly 15,000 visitors tour the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center each year. From school-aged children to art-enthusiast adults, the Judicial Center tours highlight the history of the building’s birth in the 1930s and its beautiful Art Deco architecture, as well as the inner workings of the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio judicial system.

Volunteers lead scheduled tours through the first two floors of the building, which feature architectural art with American Indian, Art Deco and Classic motifs. The tour also includes the Court’s award-winning Visitor Education Center, which showcases a permanent exhibit dedicated to the history of the court system in Ohio and the ever-present role of the law in the everyday lives of Ohioans.

Visitors also may explore the beautiful outdoor sculptures carved into the building’s white Georgia marble, as well as plaza fountains showcasing contemporary sculptures of local artists.
