Christmas at the Gaol Tour

December 7 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Illustration of the front entrance of the Gaol with illustrated Christmas decorations and text promoting Christmas at the Gaol

UPDATE: Due to the snow, the main entrance on Gloucester Street is not available. If you are joining us at the Gaol tomorrow, please use the Napier Street entrance on the south side of the building. Parking is available along Napier.

Join us for a guided tour of the Huron Historic Gaol and attached Governor’s House! Visit this national historic site during the off-season and hear true stories about what the holiday season was like for its inmates and staff between 1841 and 1972. Hear true stories of escape attempts, holiday meals behind bars and why the jail was called a “winter resort.” Includes hot cider and holiday treat!

The Gaol is normally closed in December, so this is a rare chance to visit in the winter!

Please note that this tour and bathroom access require stairs; there are limited places to sit and lean inside the Gaol. Please dress warmly.

Two tours available:

  • 1-2 p.m.
  • 2:30-3:30 p.m.
