Kid Jarret goes to Jail

I always take my Wednesday drive by myself, but this week I got to take Kid Jarret. We made a pit stop to the Franklin County Jail Museum. The Jail is amazing it serves two purposes. People come to see the old jail and find information about visiting Southern Illinois. We traveled 16. 6 miles in my car. The building is located in Benton, IL with latitude coordinates of 37.99 and longitude of 88.92. He was scared when we walked to the end of the hallway. It got colder and the jail portion scared us. We turned around and decided to play it safe by reading the material around the room.

Kid Stays in Mt. Vernon


Kid Jarrett recently had an exciting week in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. He visited a with the Barbour/Shields family and attended Ashli's daughter's 2nd Birthday Party. During his stay, Kid Jarrett and Ashli visited the Appellate courthouse in Mt. Vernon. The significance of this sight is that Abraham Lincoln, as a lawyer, once argued a case here. It is also a local legend that it took an ox cart two weeks to carry the twin wrought iron stairs from St. Louis, Missouri to Mount Vernon. The appellate courthouse in Mt. Vernon has been stated as being a building that possesses exceptional historic and architectuaal value.
