We drove 8 hours for the Dillinger Slept Here event and it was amazing. The jail is beautiful as is the whole downtown section! So much history. Only issue we had was during the tour. Our tour guide was awesome.However we had so many people that not everyone got to see everything and not everyone heard the tour guide so we all missed important information. She kept talking when everyone wasn't together. And the ticket showed 2 hours for the prison tour but we were done in an hour. So I feel like she could have gone a little slower and waited for everyone to catch up! The presentation in the courthouse was also fun but may need a better PA system bc a lot of us couldn't hear the guest speakers and that was a bummer. We hope you do another event like this one bc we will definitely be back!

I first came here in 2016 after my fan girl phase of John Dillinger. The outside of the building doesn't tell you all the history it holds inside. Now visiting again in 2020, I was happy to see all the new renovations that had been made as a result of the hard work of volunteers and the funds they've raised. We were now able to see the second floor of the Sheriff's House and had more of a private tour (thanks to Covid) of the jailhouse. The volunteers are very friendly and welcoming and have lots of stories to share! The jail part is very original and the tour guides are able to describe how everything worked when the jail was in use. I almost convinced myself to have my 21st birthday party here as I'm very fond of Dillinger. Maybe when I get married I'll rent it as the venue 😅🤷

I enjoyed touring the Old Sheriff's house and jail. Our tour guide was a delight and we learned so many interesting things about its history. I would love to visit again the next time I'm in town and take their longer twilight tour. If you plan to visit, be sure to make reservations in advance.

I am a lead investigator with Riverbend Paranormal Indiana. (See us in Facebook at The Paranormal Worldwide Crew. We did a meet and greet with several other paranormal investigators, interested parties and friends. We conducted an investigation and captured some compelling evidence. It’s an interesting place to visit (see the jail cell where John Dillinger stayed and escaped from using a fake gun). The folks managing the place are super...
