Sheriff's House and Jail

The Sheriff's House and Jail, also known as the Sheriff's House, is a historic jail and residence, built in 1882. It has a three-story projecting tower and a mansard roof. It remained in use as a residence until 1958 and as a jail until 1974.

The building is open to the public. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Apparitions have been reportedly sighted, and even allegedly photographed here near the cells.

Cell doors open and close, lights flash on and off, and the sounds of bars rattling, footsteps and voices have been heard.
