From 1876-1993, this location was a working jail, complete with heavy metal bars, dim lighting, and grungy conditions. The jail portion of this property has not been renovated since its closure, so it offers the perfect film scene for a historical film involving a jail. The attached sheriff's house was restored to its previous condition and features an old doctor's office, classroom, bedroom, and kitchen, complete with historical kitchen appliances.
Filmmakers can contact Paxton Main Street director Donna Pepper at (734) 834-1485 for more details about this location.
