PIKEVILLE, Tenn. — An old jail in Bledsoe County is being turned into a military museum.
The 160-year-old building with a rock exterior, a front porch and a secondstory cellblock that can be accessed only by an iron staircase outside will also house the county’s Veterans Service Office.
County Mayor Bobby Collier said the building will be used and maintained by local veterans groups.
The county opened a new jail last year.
