Old Stone Jail in Cimarron, New Mexico Today

Kathy Weiser, July, 2003

 

The Cimarron News and Press of Sept. 14, 1872, reported that the contract for the construction of a new jail was given to Mssrs. Donoghue and White for masonry and carpentry work. Surrounding the jail was an outer stone

wall 10 feet high and 4 feet thick, the foundation of which can still be seen. A jailbreak in the early 1900s resulted in the dynamiting of a huge gap in the outer wall. The southeast corner of the building is believed to have been the sheriff's office. The jail was in use until the early 1960s and

was renovated in 1998.

Great American Bars and Saloons

Great American Bars and Saloons by Kathy WeiserBy Kathy Weiser

Owner/Editor of Legends of America

 

Kathy Weiser's first venture into the publishing world takes you into the many watering holes of America's past, particularly the numerous saloons that sprouted up during our nation's Wild West days. This great photographic review displays hundreds of vintage photographs from California to Arizona, the mining camps of Colorado, all the way to New York and its turbulent days of Prohibition.
