Old Montana Prison

DEER LODGE, MT, 59722 US / MT

Location Description

Discover yester-year when you step into the first Territorial Prison in the western United States. The prison was built by convict labor in the late 1800's. The gray sandstone walls of this immense structure are 24 feet high and buried 4 feet deep to prevent escape by tunneling. The oldest Territorial Prison in the Western United States. The prison was decommissioned in 1979, but the facility still houses cells, warden's quarters, a yard, a chapel, and gates for your next prison-set production.
