For this week’s trip we are going to be heading to the small town of Hayesville, North Carolina to take a tour of the Clay County Old Jail Museum that was constructed in the year of 1912.

Upon entering the Clay County Old Jail Museum, you’ll be greeted by the docent. She is very knowledgeable and does an amazing job at taking you on a journey through the years past.
