Guess Where?
Did you guess a PRISON?
Located in historic downtown Charleston, The Old City Jail was operational from 1802 until 1939,
housing some of Charleston's most infamous
criminals, such as Lavinia Fisher (America's first serial killer), Civil War prisoners of war and High Sea Pirates.
The jail is said to be haunted by the spirits of the thousands of prisoners who died while incarcerated. So be sure to keep your eyes open if you choose to go on a Haunted Jail Tour!
Currently, the Old City Jail is an official "Save America's Treasures" project of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the White House Millennium Council. It has served as a laboratory and classroom for all American College of the Building Arts students since the year 2000 when it was acquired from the Housing Authority of the City of Charleston.
Have fun!
