The Old Jail Museum, the former county jail, is now the home of the Fauquier Historical Society. The front portion, originally containing four cells, was remodeled into living quarters for a jailer. The rear structure, built in 1823, contains the original cells as well as an exercise yard, also used as a hanging yard. Hangings took place in the yard until 1896. This is one of the most perfectly preserved old jails in the Commonwealth, and was operated as a jail until 1966. Featured at the Old Jail Museum is the maximum security cell block, John Marshall room, Colonial kitchen, the Rappahannock canal boat, 1823 cells, wine cellar exhibit and much more!
