Jails were common fixtures in communities large and small and are often the sources of many fun tales of the ‘notorious’ criminals and bad guys who may or may not have slept there. Our jail was originally built in the late 1860s and has two cells each with a plank to serve as a bed. The unusual construction of 2 X 6 blocks stacked on top of each other and nailed together helped prevent a crafty criminal from sawing his way to freedom.
