This collection of penal artifacts stands just outside of the prison itself, and is still fascinating to Johnny Cash fans. Currently closed. Reopening date uncertain.

Folsom Prison Museum

Small museum but interesting. Cost was $2 for ages 12 and up. Kids free (as of March 2010 anyways). Parking is near the visitor building, then a short walk past the guard gate to the museum on the right.
