Historic Franklin County Jail

see Mt. Vernon Town Square
see Franklin County Courthouse

This historic jail sits directly next to the county courthouse. It has been renovated and is now the Old Jail Arts Center. I don’t know much else about the jail – as there is no historical marker and the art center was closed. From web searches, I have found that it was built in 1912 (same year as courthouse).
