This past Sunday we went to the Crow Wing County Historical Society Museum. It's in the old old Jailhouse on Laurel street in Brainerd. I say old old because there's a jail between the museum jail and the current jail that sits vacant behind the museum jail. The old old jail (museum) was the actual jail when we moved here in 1976. I thought it looked scary.
They've done a nice job in making it into a museum. There's lots of stuff about the Railroad. The Sheriff's quarters were open and available to tour on Sunday. My grandmother Myrtle O'neil Peterson cooked for the prisoners there for awhile in the 60's.
