The San Jacinto County Jail, also known as the Coldspring Old Jail or San Jacinto County Old Jail Museum, is a historic jail and museum in Coldspring, Texas. Originally built in 1887 and expanded in 1911, it is one of the oldest buildings in Coldspring. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1982. Today, it is the home of the San Jacinto County Historical Commission and is next to Old Town Coldspring, a recreation of some of the settlement's oldest buildings.[1] It is periodically open for public tours.
