Associated Press "A museum just beyond the maximum-security prison’s watch towers is being planned with a unique feature: a 300-foot-long (91 meters) corridor connecting to the roofless ruins of the original 19th century cell block inside the walls. Museum-goers would stand at the site of the first cramped cells at this prison “up the river” from New York City and learn about life in the Big House." |

Historic Hudson River Towns is working with the New York State Department of corrections and Ossining to do just that. New York's Fox5 News
