A group of friends and I went to check out this amazing location and we were not disappointed by no means! Just standing out side alone was a treat to look at this beautiful historic site between the architecture to the appearance of the jail is simply beautiful and amazing. Then the fact that it sits back and its seemingly hidden behind other structures in this small rural town you would not even know that it was back there it's a true gem that's hidden just waiting to be discovered. Then to walk inside and hear the rich history of not only the town but this jail from start to finish by an amazing well knowledge guide who actually knows the history and has a love for its preserverance. It was truly worth the trip we all made to see it. They have several options to see this place from day tour's to paranormal investigation. From a paranormal standpoint it was extremely active from doors slamming to disembodied voices to equipment failure, batteries draining, the interactions with the spirits with intelligence responses of off the charts. I gave this place 5 stars but if I could I would give it 10. Thanks to the ladies who runs it. Miranda and Kris these ladies are simply amazing! So if you are thinking about historical locations you definitely want to see this place its an experience you...

This place is a gem! We drove from WI to visit the Cumberland falls area and took a side trip to visit this jail. And I'm so glad we did! We got there at 3 pm, an hour before closing time, and the owner, Christie, told us not to rush and was super nice and knowledgeable about the place and it's history. You can use an app at different points in the building which tells you interesting things about that room. There are original makeshift weapons the inmates made, escape devices like a rope made of bedsheets, and a home made tattoo device made of parts of an old cassette tape, pen ink and batteries. The pictures and stories of the inmates and guards are well presented and fascinating! Christie shared other stories not mentioned anywhere about the memories of locals who lived and worked there. The owners did a great job with all their work and research they put into it and I'd highly recommend visiting it! If I'm back in this area, I'll...

Amazing experience!! We went for the flashlight tour and had the place to ourselves, which was awesome. Kristy was so knowledgeable and attentive. She was able to answer all our questions.

We were able to utilize a K2 meter during our tour which resulted in intelligent responses. My partner is a skeptic, but even he couldn't explain how the K2 was lighting up at specific times to answer questions.

Their growing collection of artifacts is great. They have unique and interesting items on display that help show what life was like for the inmates. Their paranormal evidence is chilling and amazing.

Definitely the best paranormal tour I've ever been on. I am planning on going back for one of their guided ghost tours. The spirits here are ready to...

The Historic Scott County Jail has a 3-story true crime museum that details the history of crime and law enforcement in Scott County, TN. There are lots of interesting artifacts and articles around the museum to read and you could literally spend hours reading and looking at the displays. The jail is also haunted and is a paranormal research center! In the evenings the museum hosts "After Dark" Flashlight Tours, Guided Ghost Hunts, Haunted History Walks and Private Paranormal Investigations. Disembodied voices, shadow figures and phantom footsteps have been captured by investigators during their stay at the jail.
