Folks in Rawlins, Wyoming, took law and order seriously back in the 1890s. To hold cattle rustlers, horse thieves, and other lawbreakers, they built a stone-and-steel state prison that's still sturdy after nearly a century. For a leg-stretching respite from hours of driving on Interstate 80, you can take a short tour of the old prison, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. On your 1-hour guided tour of the building, you'll get a feel for prison life.
