'Ghost Hunters' in Burlco to air in March

[Carol]

The episode of "Ghost Hunters" that features the Historic Burlington County Prison in Mount Holly will air next month.

Last fall, a crew from the SciFi Channel show visited the museum for several days. The result can be seen at 9 p.m. March 12, the network announced.

For more than a century, the jail housed all walks of life, from petty crooks to murderers. Hangings were carried out in the prison yard. And until an adjacent house was built, the warden's family lived behind the thick masonry walls.

The jail was built in 1811 and designed by Robert Mills, one of America's first native born and trained architects. It was in use until 1965 and renovated as a museum in the mid-1990s.

The jail is open for tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.
