Notes
  • Significance: This is a sturdy building and an excellent example of an 1870's frontier jail. // Completed and accepted by the County Commissioners of Sweetwater County, Wyoming Territory, on April 1, 1870, the jail continued to be used after the establishment of Fremont County and until Wyoming became a state in 1890. During the 1880's the front room was used as an interim school following the burning of the first schoolhouse. Used by several owners for a variety of purposes between 1890 and 1966, the jail was purchased by the Wyoming 75th Anniversary Commission, Inc. and was designated part of the South Pass Historical Preserve by the Wyoming legislature in 1967.
