Though we did not receive as much paranormal evidence and experiences as we hoped at this location, the Jailer’s Inn definitely has its fair share of haunting residents. Below are various photo albums of different parts of the jail’s grounds, including the cemetery located behind the Jailer’s Inn. If you have any questions do not hesitate to send us an E-mail and we will respond at our earliest convenience.

(below) The front of the Jailer's Inn Bed and Breakfast. The sandstone looking structure is actually the oldest part of the prison. When it operated as a jail, the prisoner cells were upstairs while the jailor lived downstairs. Once the newer jail began to operate, the older jail was used to house the jailer at the time, and the prisoners were moved to the back area.

Below are some photos depicting the history of the jail as well as the mindset and intelligence of some of the prisoners. Click on each photo for a larger view.

Below are some photos of the original jail, then the jailer's living quarters. Note the jail-like atmosphere through the beautiful, cozy funishings such as the bars on the doors, the shackles on the walls and floors, and the other historic artifacts that were actually used when the jail was in operation. The owner told us that he hears the piano being played, and when he goes into the room to see who is pushing on the keys, no one is there. An old jailer, perhaps?

Below are a variety of photos taken in and around the courtyard of the Jailer's Inn. What looks to be the old garage, now an open patio, is where a full, deliciously southern breakfast is served during summer months. In the courtyard very near where you see the well, the gallows once stood. Keep in mind, as seen in the historical photos, these gallows were used. Families would pack picnics, and while the men were crammed into the courtyard for a closer view, the women and children sat up on the grassy hills in comfort watching prisoners hang to their deaths.

Pioneer Cemetery, seen in the photos below is located directly behind the Jailer's Inn. It was established in 1789 but no longer used by the 1850's. On the grounds you will find many chest-like burial tombs and an antique log schoolhouse. Though the grounds are very well maintained, it is unfortunate that many of the stones marking the graves have been subjected to various kinds of damage over the years.
