Originally put at its site at 455 N. Broadway in the 1940s the no longer used Polk County Jail is somewhere to take the kids – and yourself – to sort of see it this weekend and get scared at the same time.

The Haunted Jail Tours kicked off last weekend and continues this weekend where from 6-11 p.m. people will go through the haunted house set up there on Friday and Saturday. However, this is no ordinary haunted house.
