Old City Jail


category : Other Attractions
The Mayberry Jail is a local re-creation of "The Courthouse" seen in so many episodes of the The Andy Griffith Show. The Old City Jail was Mount Airy's real jail for many years. The Old City Jail is also the site of the annual Mayberry Days Proclamation by the Mayor. The vintage 1962 Ford Galaxie Squad Car sitting out front lets you know the defenders of Mayberry are never far away.
