kewaunee county jail musuem

The jail museum is housed in (no surprise) the county's former jail which also served as a home for the jailer's family. The museum provides a wonderful collection of historical memorabilia. The former jail cells include an eclectic mix of items and rooms upstairs feature, among others, Native American artifacts and items from area churches. There is a small admission fee which is well worth it, considering how much time can be spent perusing things. The museum is located next to the Court House and is hard to miss since it sits high on a hill overlooking the city. Hours may be limited since the museum is staffed by volunteers.
