Old Jail Museum

The Old Jail Museum, located in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, is a historic 19th-century jail best known for its connection to the Molly Maguires, a group of Irish-American coal miners. The museum offers guided tours through original cell blocks, the warden’s quarters, and the eerie execution chamber, providing insight into prison life during the late 1800s. A highlight of the tour is the mysterious handprint left by one of the Molly Maguires, which legend says cannot be removed. With its well-preserved architecture and gripping stories of justice and intrigue, the Old Jail Museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into Pennsylvania’s coal mining and labor history. https://www.theoldjailmuseum.com
