    One of the most requested locations at Eastern State Penitentiary opens for one weekend only, for limited tours. Cellblock 15, or “Death Row” as it was informally known, was the last cellblock added to Eastern State Penitentiary. It contained inmates under the highest level of security in Pennsylvania, including some awaiting execution. The Historic Site is currently raising funds to preserve and interpret this fascinating building. See Cellblock 15 now, in its eerie state of ruin, for one weekend only. Members receive free admission and priority registration beginning June 1. If reservations remain, they will be made available to the general public on June 15.
