Two Cell Jail — Attraction in Gardner

If you’re looking for a unique and off-the-beaten-path historical site, Two Cells Jail is a must-visit! This tiny yet fascinating piece of history gives visitors a glimpse into the past with its simple yet eerie design. The moment you step inside, you can almost feel the stories of those who once spent time within these walls.

What makes Two Cells Jail stand out is its authenticity—there’s no over-the-top restoration, just pure history frozen in time. The aged bricks, the heavy iron doors, and the quiet, almost haunting atmosphere make for an unforgettable experience. It’s the kind of place that transports you back in time and sparks the imagination.

We stopped by during the 2021 Red Carpet Cooridor Festival. We were greeted by a friendly man working behind an information table at the two room jail cell. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, he even opened up the streetcar diner so we could go in. This was the first time I've ever seen the inside of it! I stuck a couple dollars in the donation box and picked up a souvenir postcard. The two room jailcell is worth seeing too, although I have seen it several times. Turns out the gentleman working the table was the Gardner mayor! Really enjoyed...

The Two Cell Jail is a nice attraction about the history of Gardner. It was interesting to check out the retired jail from the past. It was also nice to have the Riviera Restaurant trolley diner also at the same location. Then you have the Shop on Route 66 a very short walk away as well. So you get three attractions with one stop. And they're all interesting....
