Perry County Jail, Historical county jail museum in Pinckneyville, Illinois, United States.
The Perry County Jail features a two-story brick structure with distinct Italianate architectural elements and separate spaces for male and female prisoners.
Built in 1871 for $14,150, this building served as both a jail and residence for the sheriff until 1987, when authorities moved to newer facilities.
The exhibits contain artifacts from the 1800s, including furniture, clothing, and a complete one-room school setup that represents regional development.
Located at 108 West Jackson Street, the museum operates under the management of the Perry County Historical Society since 1993.
The structure remains one of only two properties in Perry County listed on the National Register of Historic Places alongside the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds.
