Explore over 180 years of Huron County history through the tragic and sometimes strange tales of the men, women and children who lived and died at this national historic site.

Please note that upper levels of the gaol and attached Governor’s House require stairs and there is no elevator on site. Requires standing, as spaces are confined and places to sit at the gaol are limited. Guests are asked to dress for the weather, as the tour includes outside yards.
