Topic: Gallows

Glenn Socklin provides a tour of the old Gonzales County Jail, a structure built in 1895 on the original Green Dewitt land grant. The facility served as a regional jail for multiple counties until the mid-1970s and features a replica gallows and original prisoner graffiti. Though designed for 100 inmates, the building eventually fell into disrepair with minimal plumbing before being converted into a museum and Chamber of Commerce office.
