Texas Prison Museum

The Texas Prison Museum contains exhibits about correctional facilities, including a life-size replica cell and items made by inmates.

From 1924 to 1964, the electric chair known as Old Sparky executed 361 inmates before the state changed to different execution methods.

The museum displays inmate-created artwork, handcrafted furniture, and personal items that reflect daily life within Texas correctional institutions.

Located at Interstate 45 Exit 118 on Highway 75, the museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from noon.

The collection includes makeshift weapons confiscated from inmates, demonstrating security challenges within the Texas prison system over decades.
