 The
Caldwell County Museum, built in 1908-09 to serve as the
Caldwell County Jail, represents a rare example of the
Norman castellated style of architecture. Located on the
site of the county's first log jail (1855-1858), this
five-story red brick structure contains nine main cells,
each divided into smaller compartments on the upper three
floors. A basement was used for storage and the ground
floor was the residence for the County Sheriff. Operated
by the Caldwell County Historical Commission, the museum
is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 1
p.m. to 5 p.m.
