Plan Your Visit

Our 27-room Zinn Dollhouse offers three fun scavenger hunts. Integrated QR codes allow you to view videos that complement the exhibits. And of course, no visit is complete without visiting the beautifully restored courtroom.

Don’t miss the 1886 Jailhouse Museum next door. Join a guided tour where you will walk through the county sheriff’s home and workplace as well as the fully-intact cell block.

There’s something for everyone to see and explore. Admission and tours are always free for members!
