In this episode, host Rachel Buchanan, Experience Jackson Vice President of Marketing and Communications, welcomes Steve Rudolf, tour guide with the Historic Jackson Prison Tours, which take place at the original site of Michigan’s First State Prison. In 1839, a makeshift wooden fort with room for just 35 inmates became Michigan’s first state prison: Michigan State Prison or Jackson State Prison was the first prison in Michigan. Whether you want to tour the original prison building and grounds as an individual, small group, or even a bus tour, there are options for both viewing just the historic prison, or expanding your tour to include local food, murals, churches and train history – for a day or even an overnight visit.
