This museum displays an electric chair nicknamed Old Sparky that was used for executions between 1924 and 1964.

Huntsville holds the sad record for the highest number of executions by electrocution each year (between 10 and 15 per year for several years). This prison museum features numerous exhibits detailing the history of the Texas prison system, with a glimpse of the operations that take place behind the fences and walls. Among the exhibits is an electric chair nicknamed "Old Sparky" that was used for executions between 1924 and 1964. A prison system quite repulsive for outsiders, this museum is chilling...
