Ashburn, Georgia - Crime and Punishment Museum

This small museum is housed in an old brick building that used to be the sheriff's home and office (downstairs) and jail (upstairs). Includes historical artifacts such as a ball from a chain-gang ball-and-chain, old handcuffs, replica electric chair, and other stuff. Also has a gallow with trap door. I guess that would be both up and down stairs. [Perry Michael Koussiafes, 09/20/2005]

[RA: Another featured exhibit is the blood-stained white collar of Miles Cribb, displayed next to the hook on which he was hanged on Sept. 11, 1914.]
