Anamosa State Penitentiary Museum

Anamosa, IA

The Anamosa State Penitentiary Museum sits outside the walls of the still-active prison and documents its history through uniforms, photographs, inmate-made objects, weapons and a replica cell. The museum operates on a limited seasonal schedule and is a prison-history stop rather than a conventional haunted house.
