WELCOME to THE OLD JAIL MUSEUM
The Kendall County Historic Jail was constructed in 1887 and served for a century as the county jail. In recent years, the Friends of the Kendall County Historic Jail (FKCHJ) have painstakingly restored the space, bringing it back to life as a one-of-a-kind museum of Kendall County history.

Built in 1887, the limestone jail was designed and built by Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company and stood next door to the Kendall County Courthouse, built 17 years prior.
The jail housed four jail cells and also served as home to the early sheriffs and their spouses, who would often cook for the inmates.
The jail served as workspace for county employees after its closure in 1987, and as storage space since 2012.
