Territorial Prison Museum - Canyon City, CO
The Territorial Prison Museum & Park

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.
