    What a fantastic museum. We stopped here on a road trip to take in some local history. Parking is…read morelimited, but free. There is a small gift shop you enter through & pay the entrance fee. The staff are pleasant & offer you a little scavenger hunt to complete to make the visit more enjoyable. They had a lot of interesting plaques, photos, & items of interest. They also had a nice array of photo props inside the main jail & scattered around the grounds. Additionally, the historical research was very informative of the demographic, climate, and age in which the jail was operational & for some time afterwards. For more insight, I recommend picking up a copy of "Within Adobe Walls" by Pete "Smokey" Dryer in the gift shop on your way out.

    A historical landmark for Yuma and it located right on the point of 2 rivers meet and right next to…read morethe free. Great place to visit and learn about how it became and who are the prisoners and their history (which similar to current ones). How it opened and closed and how it developed through that small period. What you see now is just a portion of the original but you got the picture of how the life in prison back then. The guider was fantastic and he informed us all the infos and the background of all or majority of the prisoners. Definitely quite a place to visit plus this prison would considered the 2nd island prison in the US.
