Jail
Built 1894 of handcut
stone hauled here by horse-drawn wagons from Tule Canyon. Early
day sheriff's families rented it as residence. Lower floor was used
by Red Cross workers, for sewing, during World
War I. This jail stands as the lasting reminder of what courage
and dedication mean in preserving law, order and integrity in Briscoe
County.
