Went to the Mansfield reformatory to see if we could get a tour but tours don't start until May. The reformatory is famous for being in Shawshank Redemption, Air Force one, Tango and cash, Harry & Walter go to New York. Many tv shows for ghosts and mtv shot a few videos here.
it was built in 1886 but was not opened for the young offenders until 1896. The doors closed in 1990 --I remember when this happend and the new one was built behind the old building. Soon the reformatory was going to be torn down but people stepped in to save it. Now they hold weddings, reunions, tours, sleep overs( for those into ghost hunting) and lets not forget the haunted prison experience( halloween). The reformatory is the largest castle like structure in ohio. I can not wait to go back in May to take the tour.
I also remember one of the guys I went to school with was an extra in the movie Shawshank Redemption.
found my dream house. Only if the porch wrapped around I think it would have been perfect.

Yay a fellow Midwesterner (Im from Indiana). I never new that reformatory was there and now I want to look it up for our next long trip home. Also I am so glad I am not the only one who takes picturs of strangers houses when I like them. We like to pick the pieces of the house we like and put them together for when we build our house. Cant wait to hear about your tour when you get to take it.
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun trip...although, i think it's a little strange that people get married there...a haunted sleepover would be fun, though! :)
ReplyDeleteSCORE! What a find!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It needs a wrap around porch and then it would be perfect!
A tour of that place would be right up my alley. I love doing stuff like that. Shawshank is one of my all time favorite movies, too. XO
