The Old Jail Museum
Within the walls of our circa 1888 brick & tabby building stir echos of the past. Jail cells with elaborate locks and bunks now hold photos and relics from Darien's fascinating history.
The Kit Jones Gallery
Built on Sapelo Island in 1939 by R. J. Reynolds, the vessel Kit Jones was salvaged and restored in 2023 to rest as a landmark monument next to the Old Jail. Our upstairs Kit Jones Gallery tells her story in photos and documents and offers a view overlooking her deck.
