2-Hour Ghost Tour

Tour the Haunted Halls of MSP

Want to discover some of Jefferson City’s haunted past? On this Missouri State Penitentiary ghost tour, your guide discusses the history of the facility and highlights the strange, unusual and unexplained occurrences behind the walls!

You’ll be guided through Housing Unit 1 (Control Center and Women’s Unit), Housing Unit 4 (the oldest building still standing on the Missouri State Penitentiary site, built in 1868), dungeon cells, Housing Unit 3 and the infamous gas chamber where many notorious inmates were executed for their crimes.

Guests are encouraged to bring their own flashlights for areas with low visibility.

Please note that tour sizes are limited, if you see that a tour is sold out, you may contact our office for other Missouri State Penitentiary tours that may be available.

Visitors will be able to experience a modified 2-hour ghost tour, which will include access to Housing Units 1, 3, and the gas chamber, for the 2020 tour season.
