A stroll to the jail was very interesting. The library genealogy room was an added source for finding information about my GG Grand Aunt and her family. Will, the administrator of the museum was very helpful. A super great visit!"

There is an audio tour you can do with your phone. I was approached twice by different attendant's asking to answer any questions I had. I had a great time and want to go again post Covid."

Our tour guide had just started the job so her knowledge of the museum was a bit lacking although her jail knowledge was much broader The admission to both is only $5.00. I recommend it."
