Ye Olde Jail



This is the old jail located in Fincastle. It was built in 1897 and has a long history, which you can read about HERE . I came home and googled information about the jail and was pleasantly surprised to find such a great, informative story written by my very own local blogging friend Country Dew! .

Also I have to thank another local blogging friend Blue Ridge Gal for hooking me up with my awesome new header! Thanks BRG!

    Did the inmates get to use the balacony?

  4. The day I was in Fincastle everything was closed up tighter than a drum. Would love to see the inside of those old downtown area buildings.

  10. Yep, it's a jail alright, look at all the bars on the windows! hehehe
    And I love that header photo - I remember you posting it a while back - I just love how the light shines on the tree tops, but not all over! And the horse in the field - Very cool shot!
