Another jail museum located in a very small town in the middle of nowhere
in Illinois (yes, my hometown):

        Schuyler County Jail Museum
        200 S. Congress St.
        Rushville, IL 62681
        217-322-6975

Located in 1857 county jail with museum & library facilities attached. They
do quite a bit with the local community--providing tours, promoting
historical town anniversaries, etc.
