Well worth a visit
We spent a couple of hours exploring this place on a guided tour. It was a really interesting place to visit. We had an option of various tours to take and were not disappointed. We got to see the inside of the old prison, see the living conditions, and the area that the prisoners would’ve experienced and how the prison has changed over time. We also saw the execution chair. The tour guide was very informative, knew his stuff, and I would recommend to tour to anyone

Well worth it
We really enjoyed our recent tour and this was undoubtedly due to the calibre of our guide Mannie. She is knowledgeable and had a really engaging style which ensured it kept the attention of the group. I really had no idea about the place and it’s history. Your admission fee contributes to the maintenance and ongoing works to reclaim its history.
