Welcome to
Old Jail Museum!

 

                                    Wander the Old Jail's cold hallways.

                                  Peek in Cell 17 to get a glimpse of... 

                                the Mysterious Handprint on the Wall. 

                                Stand under the gallows...

                               on which seven of the accused

                               Molly Maguires were put to death! 

                                Creep into the eerie dungeon.

                                Don't forget to check out our book,

                               "Ghosts of the Molly Maguires?",

                             a collection of visitors' first-hand accounts of

                                 strange happenings in the Old Jail.

Molly Maquires & the hand print that doesn't go away. Intriguing!
