Territorial
Prison Museum
The Territorial
Prison Museum & Park In Canon City...
 The
territorial prison in Canon City opened its doors for business in 1871. The institution
executed 77 individuals during its operation. The prison was the site of riots
and brought the city into a national spotlight just as it would today. In addition,
this institution housed famous criminals such as Alfred Packer (the only man convicted
of cannibalism). Exhibits include: the actual hangman's noose of the last man
executed by hanging in Colorado, confiscated inmate weapons and contraband , the
gas chamber, historic photographs depicting life behind bars, and a Federal Bureau
of Poisons display. The prison museum preserves and presents the history
and evolution of western prisons. For more information call… (719)
