Texas Chronicles: The Haunted Gallows of The Historic Gonzales County Jail

For over 70 years prisoners were hung on the gallows at the old Gonzales, TX jail. Many visitors have witnessed strange and eerie things of the years. The Prison is considered to be one of the most haunted places in Texas! A visit to the Gonzales County Jail Museum gave us insight to the life of its former inmates and the death of those who had a date with the gallows.

Great video, Joe. I have toured the Gonzales County Jail Museum. I recommend this museum to anyone interested in Texas history.

I've walked through here. I've touched the hand, I've seen the gallows, I've sat in a cell. I even touched the "Come and Take it" cannon in a museum near there from the battle of Jacinto.

My great grandfather, who was a local poker player back in the old days, was always in the Gonzalez jail. Probably way too many times.....

Been there a few times. Pretty interesting. Hello from Moulton Tx

[@tracybrown512]

Been there only once. That was enough, have no desire to repeat.

How many times do people have to be told it's hanged, not hung! I give up. Let 'em say what they want I guess.
