  Very interesting, I am not a very avid museum-goer and get bored pretty easily but this held my attention for a couple of hours.

  Great little museum. It’s very interesting to see the jail cells and the history it holds. They give you a booklet that corresponds to numbers on each exhibit to read about it. It took us about an hour to go through the main floor and downstairs. $8 for military and $10 for regular adults.
