Built in 1867, the Walkerton Jail operated for almost 144 years, closing in 2011. The former jail is part of a complex including the courthouse and ServiceOntario office. The jail held prisoners from Grey, Bruce and Huron counties. There are several exciting stories of hangings and escapes. It has also been featured on one of the Historic Cargill/Greenock Swamp tours!
