Very interesting. Definitely worth the stop. You can go through quickly or take your time. There is a wealth of information.

I wouldn't say I loved it but the experience and presentation of a day in the life of a prisoner in the 1800's to current at this territorial prison is awesome. I felt relieved for the self guided tour to be finished as it was an anxious experience for me, it's a little to real of an experience for my comfort. I definitely recommend it though.

Everyone really was interested. Even the 14 yr old. The displays are interesting & Informative. We all enjoyed it.

This museum was definitely worth the visit! I has a lot of great information about all aspects of the prison from history to culture. It is a lot to digest, but extremely well done. I would definitely recommend paying it a visit.
