Special Event: Visit the Historic 1878 Jail
Take a step back in time and explore the Historic 1878 Jail (pictured above) from 6 to 8 PM. Learn about the jail breaks, the fires, and look inside the cells where prisoners lived. A special treat will be an appearance by Delaware County Historical Society Board President Emeritus, Brent Carson, who has a wealth of fascinating stories to share.
