About Old Jail (Barnstable, Massachusetts)

Museums, Cultural, Interesting Places, Other Museums

Barnstable's Old Gaol is an historic colonial jail on 3353 Main Street/Massachusetts Route 6A in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built c.1690, it is the oldest wooden jail in the United States of America.

The jail was built by order of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony courts. It served as the Barnstable County jail until c.1820, when a new stone jail was built. The structure, which held about six prisoners, was eventually attached to a barn. In 1968 it was rediscovered, separated from the barn, and moved 100 feet onto the grounds of the Coast Guard Heritage Museum (located in the old Customshouse building) in Barnstable Village.
