Old York Gaol and its collection

Old York Gaol
Source

The Old York Gaol is owned by the Museums of Old York and is open to the public for tours from May through October. Visitors can explore the historic building and learn about its past during these months.

Architecture of the Old York Gaol

The Old York Gaol is a largely wood frame structure that has evolved over time. Today, it stands as a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed structure, partially clad in clapboard, with sections of stone wall. This unique architectural style reflects the building's long history and the changes it has undergone.

The Old York Gaol as a Museum

The Old York Gaol continues to function as a museum, reflecting the jail and jailer's quarters as they were in 1789. Visitors can experience a slice of history, seeing firsthand how the prison and its quarters were arranged and used during that time.
