This historic prison dates back to the late 1700s and is Road Town's oldest prison. The prison is nestled between the Road Town Method Church and St. George's Anglican Church and had come a long way since it's days as a prison when it stopped operating in 1995 to being a police station, fire department, passport office and the future location of a new museum.
