Historic Callahan Jail

Like Shackelford County – there are 2 historic county jails in Callahan, one on the Courthouse square – another – just a few yards up the road.  The brown stone jail was actually constructed at a different site/town, and was taken down in pieces and reassembled in Baird when it became the county seat.  The red one on the square has nice Romanesque features.
