    Join us for a family fun weekend commemorating some of the most famous prison breaks in American history. Attempt your own prison break by climbing a 24-ft inflatable rock wall, designed to simulate the famous 1923 escape of inmate Leo Callahan. The event will feature interactive and educational family-friendly activities including a scavenger hunt and arts and crafts.

    Two actors, portraying Clarence Klinedinst and "Slick Willie" Sutton, will debate their conflicting accounts of the 1945 Tunnel Escape. Hear their stories and vote on who you think is telling the truth.
