Newberry | The Luce County Sheriff's House and Jail was built in 1894, only 12 years after the founding of Newberry and 7 years after the organization of Luce County. The opulent structure, built to complement the nearby now-demolished courthouse, reflected the prosperity of the Victorian era community. The structure served as the jail and sheriff's residence for over 70 years. In 1975, the Luce County Historical Society rescued the jail from demolition and in 1976 reopened it as the Luce County Historical Museum. |
