And this isn’t some plywood haunt thrown together in a parking lot...
**This is a REAL 1914 jail.**
A place where prisoners once sat behind bars. Where the condemned walked. Where a **double hanging** took place. And where those old walls have been keeping their secrets for more than a century.
Now, when darkness falls, those cells come alive again... **and they’re waiting for YOU.** 👀

⚰️ **Where Ghosts & Mortals compete to make you SCREAM!**

⚠️ **PLEASE NOTE:** All daytime tours and lantern tours are suspended beginning September 7 and will reopen November 16 to allow for setup, operation and cleanup of the haunted attraction.
