Our Rotary Jail opened in 1882 as the first rotary jail in the country! Its round cell block sits on a turntable that revolves when a hand crank is turned. Just 18 rotary jails were built, and we are the only one that still spins. Come see this remarkable feat of 1880’s engineering that still rotates!
Tannenbaum Cultural Center, located just behind the Rotary Jail is perfect for your next banquet or special event.
