"We are completing displays that were
partially done last year in the medical room,
courtroom and apartment," he said. "We
"are also working on the kitchen which will
take about two years. Soon the jail will be
restored to its original condition."
The restoration and cleanup operations
began April 4 and by mid-June the staff will
. be increased to seven to hagdle visitors and
daily maintenance.
Beginning this weekend, the jail will be
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. in -
eluding weekends and, a number of school
. tnttrC rp exnected. Guided tours. for
groups of 25 or more can be arranged with
Bosnell but for the Most part, visitors are
left to browse on their own. But after the
Labor` lay weekend, the jail .will only open
on weekends until "the operation starts
- losing money."
Much of the stone and masonry work of
the old building and courtyards will be the
target :Of fervent. restoration., this spring
under the federally -funded iKatimavlk
pregram. Much of the mortar has
deteriorated and a Katimavik work team
will spend three months, beginning in
March, working on walls and foundations.
The staff has been working on -roofing the
past two years and received some money
from the county to complete a section of
shingling. The remainder of the roofing
work will be completed in the next few
years.
The jail is basically a self-sufficient
operation and students are hired under.
Experience 81 and Youth Employment
programs. A small maintenance grant is
supplied by the Ministry of Culture and
Recreation.
"We are the only operation of this type on
a tight budget," Gosnell said. "And we
would like to make it pay." -
Last year the jail attracted 16,500 visitors,
a drop in attendance of 1,000, but Bosnell
says the figures reflect the economic
climate.
"The figures are in line with the economy
but our problem is how to get people back.
Some people have toured four times but
mostly pegple just come once," he said.
"The house seems to be a bigger attraction
than the jail and people enjoy- the artifacts
and sense of historical perspective. °"
Aside from the jail and governor's house,
the weekly flea market has added sub-
stantial trafli'c and is according to Bosnell, a
social success. The flea market will begin
this Sunday, May 17 and continue each week
until weather permits.
This year admissions are $1.50 for adults;
$1 for students from 13 to 18 and 50 cents for
children. Groups of /5 or more recieve a
discount and evening tours can be arranged
digring daylight hours by calling Harry
Rosneil.
Jail curator Harry Bosnell says that visitors are intrigued
by the governor's house and each room is a step back in
time. All of the restoration is done by staff. (Photo by Dave

Frith, representatives from several senior citizens clubs In the area met at the Goderich
Township Hall to learn the game: The demonstration was sponsored by the Goderich
