Old Jail: 19th Century Jail Tour
Old Jail: 19th Century Jail Tour
Enjoy a guided tour through the sheriff's quarters where he and his family lived adjacent to 72 prisoners.

Come to America's oldest city for an arresting experience as you visit St Augustine's Old Jail, which was completed in 1891 and housed prisoners for over 60 years. It is one of the few surviving 19th century jails. Take a guided tour with the jailers and explore the sheriff's quarters where he and his wife lived adjacent to 72 prisoners. Guests can visit the male and female cells, maximum security area and see a large collection of used weapons. You'll walk through the gallows that ended the lives of numerous criminals on this site and examine a large collection of guns used in actual crimes! Experienced deputies will share tales of justice and punishment when Florida was America's southernmost frontier. You'll come face-to-face with the South's most feared sheriff, Joe Perry. Enter if you dare!

Customer Reviews
It was fun and educational. It did make me appreciate our lives today, and I felt a sense of sadness for the real people that had to live in that jail. The souvenir shop was nice, and the old time things. The tour guide was very good.
