Canada’s Penitentiary Museum

Canada's Penitentiary Museum 

Built by convict labour in 1873 as the Kingston Penitentiary Warden’s residence, “Cedarhedge” now houses Canada’s Penitentiary Museum, also known as "The Correctional Service of Canada Museum".  Investigate the history of Canada’s federal penitentiaries. It’s time well spent!
