Warden's House Museum

The Warden's House Museum is a former residence of a prison superintendent in Stillwater with 14 rooms furnished with items from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The limestone building itself reflects the architectural style of that era in its design and construction.

The house was built in 1853 and served as home to 13 prison leaders until the facility relocated to Bayport in 1914. This move ended its use as an official residence for prison administration.

The rooms show how early settlers lived in the region and depict the importance of logging to the local community's growth. Visitors can see how this industry shaped daily life and influenced the way the town developed.

The museum sits on level ground with paved access and is easy to reach on foot. Plan for about 1 to 2 hours to walk through all the rooms at a comfortable pace.

The museum holds items made by prisoners, including pieces crafted by members of the Younger Brothers, who had links to famous outlaws. These objects tell stories of people who were held in the nearby prison.
