Jacob Henry Mansion

Reviewed By LRae61 - Joliet, United States

This is an extremely versital facility. I have been there for luncheons and weddings, fashion shows and, my favorite, Witch's Night Out. The grounds are beautiful, plus there is the option of a small church wedding or large reception. Food is excellent and bar is fully stocked.

Joliet Prison

Reviewed By homewood_traveler41 - Chattanooga, United States

Very neat piece of history to check out. The only downside is because of vandals the majority of the prison interior is off limits. Still worth checking out, they have informative billboards placed all around so you know what you are looking at.
