This is where my family spent our weekend. It is the Moundsville Prison in West Virginia. It was in operation from 1866-1995. It is supposed to be haunted because there were about 900 deaths there over the years. 9 where from Old Sparky! Went went because the wife wanted to go to their haunted house on Friday night. Saturday we went on the prison tour. It was really interesting and only $10/person and lasted over an hour. All the stones were hand cut by the prisoners, and all the art work was done by the prisoners. I only got a few pics of the paintings but there are many more. It was a pretty bad place! There was no heat and some of the cells were all steel! Across the street is a large Indian burial mound(Moundsville). It has a museum for it but we didn't have time to check it out. I wish we would have. There is also a Cabelas store near by. It was awesome!!!! You could spend the whole day and LOTS of money in there! First time we had seen any of this stuff!
