Reviews
"Free and full Of information. It was awesome to see first hand what jail cells looked like. There was a person there answering questions. Guestbook so you can sign in."
"Awesome trip! Took a field trip with my class, even got to be inside one of the cells! Man up front is super nice. Edit: Ah, I remember that field trip! It was indeed pretty fun."
"This is a wonderful place to visit in San elizario! I was impressed by the jail! You Need to call for them to opened the Joel for you and you can visit how was the first jail Im Texas! Pretty and when you go inside you feel to traveling back on time! This is an amazing place to visit yo have some historic knowledge. Is a small place but pretty!"
"Very cool little historical town. The jail is neat to look at and imagine the history but you can't go in. You just see it from outside so it's a bit of a let-down. Still worth visiting though. Note: I stand corrected (by the owner) that you can, in fact, see the inside of the jail. I was unaware of the appropriate times. By all means, if you visit, be sure to ask at the Museum for a guide to open it for you! I'll be sure to do this next time I visit."
