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. >On Fri, 1 Mar 1996, Gay Bindocci <[log in to unmask]> wrote > >I am working on a project to develop a jail museum in a local community. >I would appreicate any information on existing jail museums, outreach, >collections, community involvement, etc. Thanks.
