The Martin Hotel, built in 1853, after the Civil War had such guests as the showman P. T. Barnum and outlaw robber Jesse James. Since the late 20th century, it has been operated as a museum. Both it and the Morgan County Courthouse are existing historic structures that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The courthouse was designed in a French style.

Dixon Ticonderoga, a pencil manufacturing company, had a plant in Versailles until it closed in 2005.
