The Rotary Jail Museum in Crawfordsville, Indiana, is a remarkable historical landmark featuring the last operational rotary jail system designed in the 19th century. Built in 1881, the jail functioned as a county facility until 1973. Today, it serves as an educational museum where visitors can explore interactive exhibits and participate in guided tours to learn about the innovative rotary jail mechanics and its historical context. The museum collaborates with the Tannenbaum Cultural Center to offer diverse art classes and workshops for all ages, enriching community engagement through creative expression and learning. An ideal destination for homeschooling families, it provides a unique opportunity to enhance social studies curricula with its rich historical insights and hands-on educational experiences.
