Experience the Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine like never before! In the late 18th century, people incarcerated at Old New-Gate Prison were housed in the abandoned copper mine in total darkness.

This October, celebrate the Fall season underground with “Light into the Dungeon” a wholly unique walk-through illuminated by over 300 Jack O’ Lanterns. Explore the 100-yard loop of the underground copper mine lit by a display of professionally carved Jack O' Lanterns.
