Step into the corridors of the Old Shelby County Jail. Built in 1875, the red brick, Victorian Italianate style house was the residence of the sheriff and his family while the limestone building held the cellblocks and inmates. The jail would officially close its doors in 1994. Though it has some controversial history of escapes, it was the scene of a murder in 1895. Today it sits as a worn relic, rarely open to the public. This is an experience you will not want to miss!

*Please Note the Following:

1. Due to the age and current condition of the historic jail, all visitors will be asked to sign a waiver before entering. A volunteer will be stationed at a table near the entrance to provide waivers and answer questions before the tour begins.
2. The historic jail is not handicap accessible.
