Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary

12. 00 a piece well worth it.

I wanted to go to the Haunted prison so bad but I guess I waited to long just my luck..😰

Never had a chance to visit inside yet only the restaurant/distillery

The prison, which reopened as a tourist attraction in 2018, was originally on 286 acres in Morgan County. Two hundred acres were added to the adjoining Frozen Head State Park through an easement. Now, the 86 acres of the Brushy Mountain prison tract is owned by the Morgan County Economic Development Board and leased to May and Waddington.  The gentleman that there referring to is Brian May and Pete Waddington

Be sure to buy tickets at gift shop before going to prison. They dont sell tickets at main entrance.

While my wife and I had visited a guard that was there on the guided tours said the prisoners in the hole were given two buckets 1 for water and 1 for bathroom needs

12.00 for a tour

The prison opened in 1896.

Yes you sure can!

Yes i belive it is like 1200 dollars though

Yes You should be fine.

Sorry no pets.

You can use a card.

I don't think there is a complete list of names other then the " famous prisoners "

🤔 good question

Yes tickets are bought per each individual, purchase them in the distillery building

No petro on devils loop that is where brushy state prison is but its only about a 40 mile loop

James earl ray had his picture on the wall but dont think that was his number

The tour is well worth it! There is a tour guide there named Ted that is 4th generation guard at the prison. He tells amazing stories! Go hungry and eat at Wardens Table. The food is fantastic! Right there on prison grounds.

No. They are separate. You get the tickets from the gift shop in there though. The restaurant is to the left past the goods.

If you use a tour guide 2.5 to 3.0 hours if you just walk at your own speed at least 2 hours. But can spend all afternoon if you read and see everything.

If the main gate is open you can drive past the giftshop to the main parking area for the prison and take pictures of front of the prison and other buildings just can't go inside of any of the buildings except the gift shop and wardens table

Yes we cant wait to go back with our children!!!

Man, Idk. I've only been there once with a bunch of motorcycle rider friends, but I'D LOVE TO DO THE PARANORMAL TOUR

Nope! Tickets are sold in the gift shop at the bottom of the hill :)

$12 per person. You can do a guided tour for $20 but you have to book 2 weeks in advance and have to have a group of 25 or more

In my personal opinion 90% of the tour is inside, but to go to the different blocks you will have to go outside to enter other buildings.

Around $12 for self guided. If you look them up you'll get some details on that including other tours

No they are not! We went 2 weeks ago. No mask anywhere. My friend is there TODAY...and still no mask. Thank goodness!!

There were many prisoners that died while incarcerated there. Others died under suspicious circumstances. Prison violence claimed more lives than bullets or the electric chair.

They do overnight tours. You can do the shorter one until 2 am or you can do the longer one until I think 6 am

You can get through the lower levels but upstairs only access is stairs

They reopen on April 1st!

Just for the season.

No, no pets allowed

Try the Killer Potato at The Warden's Table. Brushy isn't far from Oak Ridge - seemed to be plenty of lodging and dining options there.

Fall Hours are Thursday-Sunday, 10:30am-7:00pm, last tickets for tours are sold at 5:00pm. Closed Monday-Wednesday.

There are areas that are accessible. However, as stated above, many areas would be inaccessible due to lack of ramps, etc. I would say that standard wheelchair may have more difficulty as some of the outside areas are grassy.

No there isnt any air Conditioning! We were just there 2 weeks ago and yes the restaurant and shop has A/C but the actual Penitentiary itself NO! But it was well worth it

Right now Sat and Sun and the restaurant there called the wardens table and a gift shop with moonshine to is sat and sun right now summer they are open more days hands down the best ever

Go to sheriff's Dept or prison and apply. They will train you. Tennessee requires you be certified with in the year. A basic certification takes about a week, some prison training is about 6weeks long and they usually will train you. Hope that helps.brushy mountain has long since closed but there are numerous jails and prisons in the state.

It is a self guided tour. They do have other tours like the Flashlight Tour. Check their website.

On the site it said that the flashlight tour is 25 but they've already been sold out

Don't know about kids,,, best to check the website.

Not that I saw. Just good ol bbq.

Scenic River Inn Motel $50 3.1 (54) · 3.0 mi 2-star hotel Modest motel with free Wi-Fi

Yes

None of it is air conditioned. Well the movie room is. 17 min long show.

I would contact them directly via their Facebook page or their website, if you don't wanna call.

16 tons

The only things you can't see is max security and the hole and the mess hall which are both down some stairs you can go in the courtyard and the laundry room and the museum and into the yard in a chair.

Dwight Yoakam

they are assuming about 400. UT is coming to do a scan of the graveyard so they can have as accurate number as possible. They are planning on doing a walking trail around the cemetery.

It all really depends on how much and how in-depth you want to see and read and how many pictures you want to take. I guess you could say an average person would spend two hours plus the gift shop and Distillery

Maybe, I would check first. I'm not sure.
