The prison is the last building on the right. What you don't see in this picture is the crowd. There was a festival going on and we had to park about a mile and a half away.
The jail is most famous because Alexander Campbell was found guilty of accessory to murder. He proclaimed his innocence. The day of his hanging he put his hand in the mud and said that his hand print will forever stay on the wall to let everyone know of his innocence. They have painted the wall and re plastered the wall but the hand print continues to return....according to the legend.
After the prison we did a little shopping in the town of Jim Thorpe and then got a bite to eat. Upon our walk back to our car we found this incredible slide. It was so much fun!
It was a prefect end to our day.
