Historic Jail Preservation Project underway in Kingman
KINGMAN – The Mohave County Historical Society is welcoming information and donations as it advances its Historic Jail Preservation Project in downtown Kingman.
The organization secured a lease of the property from Mohave County in Jan., 2023 with a goal of restoring and reopening the two-story building as a showcase for local history, much like the Mohave Museum and Bonelli House.
Historical Society Director Leah Stagg said jail construction that commenced in 1909 was completed in 1910. She said that the facility was in the community forefront long before, and then during decades of operation before closing in 1968.
