The earliest portion of the jail itself, the stone (center) section
dating from 1856, was the fourth jail built here. The brick section was added in 1893.
The jail was operated by the county until 1960, and by the state from 1960 to 1968. The 32-cell facility is of interest to young and old. Even some former inmates have visited the jail, and have told stories of life at the old "Hollyhock Hotel", as it was affectionately known.
