Okay we put this on in for fun. If you are over in Council Bluffs and want to spend 30 minutes definitely stop by to see a piece of history.
The “Squirrel Cage Jail” is one of only three remaining “rotary jails,” all of which stand as examples of a brief obsession with keeping criminals in rotating cells.
History buffs - ghost catchers - strange things society - this is the place for you. Located within the Pottowata
This jail built in 1885 boasts a unique revolving design & now serves as a museum with tours.
