Crawfordsville's One-of-a-Kind Rotary Jail

Here's a shameless post about the museum where I work. It's a rotary jail that still turns and is a one-of-a-kind architectural treasure. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Historic American Engineering Record. Here's a picture of the outside of the sheriff's residence and jail:


 Here's a photo of the interior of the jail:


Check out the museum's new blog here: http://rotaryjailmuseum.blogspot.com/. I wrote the first post on it a couple of weeks ago. Look for a new post about a former sheriff tomorrow. Also, here's a link to the website: http://www.rotaryjailmuseum.org/.

If you're ever in the Crawfordsville area, stop by and I'll give you tour!
