Minnesota Territorial Prison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minnesota Territorial Prison was a prison in Stillwater, Minnesota operated from 1853 - 1914. Construction of the prison began in 1851, shortly after Minnesota became a Territory [1]. The historic site, long since unused, was destroyed by arson on September 3, 2002 [2].
The prison was well-known because it once housed the Younger Brothers (Cole, Bob and Jim), members of notorious outlaw Jesse James' gang [3].
Today, the prison site has been converted to a large condominium project.
