About
Built in the 1880s, this small stone structure was never meant to hold inmates. It originally served as a well house and water tower, its granite base keeping perishables cool before refrigeration.
According to local legend, one particularly rowdy visitor was once locked inside the building, and it had to serve as a temporary prison until the sheriff could arrive.
