About Historic SDG Jail
Located at 11 Water Street West in Cornwall, Ontario, the Historic SDG Jail is a remarkable heritage site that offers visitors a chilling and fascinating glimpse into over a century of local justice and incarceration. Built in 1833, it served as both a minimum and maximum-security facility until its closure in 2002, making it one of Ontario's oldest jails. Today, the restored building operates as a museum where guided tours lead guests through original cell blocks, common areas, and the exercise yard while sharing true stories of former guards and inmates. The atmosphere captures the stark realities of prison life in the 19th and 20th centuries, enhanced by the building's preserved architecture and eerie ambience. Beyond historical tours, the jail has become a popular site for paranormal investigations due to its dark past and unexplained occurrences. Owned and operated by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry, the Historic SDG Jail stands as a haunting yet educational landmark that connects visitors to Cornwall's deep and sometimes unsettling history.
