Watch Him Escape the Jail

If you go to the 1894 Old County Jail in Green Cove Springs, Florida, you can see the con-artist escape the building.  Well, you can imagine he’s escaping because he sure looks it!  This is a great place to visit.  Check their website to see the dates and times they are open. It’s free to visit and includes a park as well. The two ladies, Visry and Victoria who greeted us were a bonus and so informative and helpful.

Inside you can see old documents, such as the Fleming Will ( as in the Fleming Island fame) and huge city books with the town’s history and even artifacts of escapees, sheriff’s and odd enough, info about the Lynyrd Skynyrd band members.  (You know, the guy who wrote the song “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama”.

Check it out here: 915 Walnut St, Green Cove Springs, FL 32043
