Jailhouse Rock, at the Old Lincoln County Jail on Federal Street in Wiscasset, will be held Saturday, Aug. 9, from 5 - 8 p.m. The stewardship committee of Lincoln County Historical Association’s (LCHA) Old Jail invites young and old for an evening of music by the jazz-rock-blues band Leopard Girls, and their set of foot-tapping music. 

Jailhouse Rock is an event for all ages with dancing, food, lawn games, and tours of the jail cells.

Bring your own picnic or purchase food at the jail.

"Event organizers have partnered with Wiscasset Partners in Education to sell picnic fare at reasonable prices to benefit school programs," said LCHA, in a news release.

In addition, kids and kids-at-heart will participate in games and races, and those interested in glimpsing the austere cells in the 214 year-old granite jailhouse will be treated to brief tours.

Tickets for adults are $5; kids are free. Visit the LCHA website at lincolncountyhistory.org to purchase tickets online.

Jailhouse Rock will be held rain or shine. 

The Lincoln County Old Jail is located at 133 Federal Street in Wiscasset.
