Excellent tour for those who like history, creepy buildings and exploring! Recommend this for older children, could be too scary for younger kids and some of the stories tell about murder and mayhem that landed people in the dungeon or hanged on the gallows. Tours are only available on select dates or by appointment for groups but worth the effort to make it happen.

We ordered tix on line which was rather easy. We arrived with plenty of time to sit and admire the lovely architecture and woodwork. The tour starts with a talk by the staff then your tour the jail. It has been redone so it is pristine. The dungeon has also been cleaned up. Very cool to see. The upper floor had the gallows. Interesting to see and hear the stories. Also up there are artifacts from the prisoners. Very interesting.

Excellent tour, knowledgable staff! The jail, dungeon and gallows are well preserved with stories and memories shared by the last of the sherif's and deputy's that worked there. And, it's haunted! It's worth the travel to see this historical gem.

As an attorney, I get to see lots of jails. This one is not my favorite, but is fairly user friendly. Guards have been investigated for their behavior towards drunken guests, but if you hqve to do short amounts of time, there are worse places. Fairly safe.m

I attended a tour of the dungeon and jail with about 40 people on a bus trip. They were very accommodating and quickly divided us into two groups. The staff was very pleasant and informative. We also ate dinner in the jail. It was very cool and the dungeons were very creepy. I do not recommend it if you are claustrophobic or super religious because there are some ghost stories and creepy things.
