Things to see - Historic Jail (In Ancestor Square)

Historic Jail (In Ancestor Square)

The exact date of the construction of the jailhouse is unknown, but it is assumed to have been built by Sheriff Hardy around 1880. The one-room building was constructed from black lava rock hauled from the nearby foothills. The windows still retain the original bars. It reportedly was the frequent home of Robert Leroy Parker (Butch Cassidy).
