Review & FAQ:
Housed in what was once the Tuolumne County Jail, the Tuolumne County Museum converted the jail into a turn-of-the-century museum and office while still maintaining the cultural integrity of the building. For example, the outdoor patio which visitors can relax on was once the prisoner’s exercise yard. The exhibits themselves are outstanding and tell a wonderful story of how the area has progressed over the years. You’ll be able to see costumed mannequins, antiques, and old photographs all separated by the six geographical regions of the county. Popular displays include those on the Knights Templar, pioneer guns, and original furniture from when the building was used as the primary jail.
