This Tour Of An Abandoned Mississippi Prison Is An Experience Unlike Any Other
There are a ton of sites in Mississippi that make re-visiting the past a real possibility – and the Old Jail Museum is one of them. Just like the name implies, the old jail has been transformed into a museum, retaining many of its original attributes. But you don’t have to take our word for it. The former jail now offers tours, so you can see it for yourself. Take a look:
Not only is the building one of Mississippi’s best preserved 19th century penal facilities, but it’s also a significant example of post Civil War architecture.
For more information, call (601) 691-1181. You can also visit the Canton-Madison County Historical Society Facebook page.
Address: 234 E Fulton Street, Canton, MS, 39046
This isn’t the state’s only unique museum. Read about another here.
