Goderich Gaol

If you find yourself in the Goderich, Ontario area, consider visiting this old prison. It was constructed in 1842 and was in regular use until 1972; the interior is absolutely mediieval in nature. It is hard to believe that it was in use for so long! Three hangings were carried out here; two of them were public and occurred in the prison yard. Fourteen year old Stephen Truscott was held here awaiting execution until his sentence was commuted.
