History

The Historic SDG Jail was constructed in 1833 and used as an active prison until 2002. This over 150-year lifespan created some fantastic stories to be shared with those lucky enough to find themselves on tour.

Shiver at the deathly tales of hanging and unclaimed bodies told by a guided jail tour and discover all the history behind the infamous prison. An excellent summer location, tours are open from May 20^th to August 28^th.
