"Place is small, but we learned things. You do have to park in a lot with all the visitors to the prison. Security is high, but I think it's worth noting."

"Unlike me, but I didn't take one photo. I believe that anyone that visits here with just a simple $2 entry fee per person will find that it has so much and is actually quite large. I believe children as young as 5 years old and anyone up to 100 years old or beyond would find this quite interesting. I would say the amount of time that you would spend here could be about 45 minutes to an hour. If you really start digging into the hidden treasures and reading the stories you can spend easily a couple of hours. Overall, I highly recommend visiting here. Not only for the museum. Put this to get a taste of what the prison is like since it's on the same grounds as the actual prison."

"Small museum but packed with historic artifacts, photos and memorabilia. Unfortunately they’ve cut back the hours of operation so Saturday is the only day to visit."

"Dont drink that dirty water. Fascinating historic stop. It's sobering why it was built and still is in use. I love the museum sharing actuall history of the prison and the work and engineering the prisoners put into the construction and maintenance of the facilities. Guards were very accomadating."

"We are so happy we went here. It's a little off the beaten path and we were skeptical in taking the time to go, but well worth it. The guy running the gift shop was extremely nice and even though it's small the museum is worth doing. You even park right outside the gate so it's a little weird being that close to guards and people going inside for visits. Lots of Johnny cash memorabilia too."
