The Bristol County Jail in Bristol, Rhode Island, is a historic jail dating back to 1828, now home to the Bristol Historical and Preservation Society. The jail features a 2 1/2-story stone structure with a gable roof, housing both inmates and the jailer's family in separate sections.
Following its discontinuation in 1957, the property was leased by the Bristol Historical Society, which renovated the interior while preserving many original features. The jail cells are now used as a public exhibit, and the building serves as the headquarters for the Historical Society.
