Where in Carolina Country is This?

The December “Where Is This” photo by Brunswick Electric member Wesley Green features the Old Brunswick County Jail, located on Nash Street in Southport, across the street from the Old Smithville Burying Ground. The old jail served its purpose from 1904 to 1971. Many readers report this is a “cool landmark” to visit to learn its colorful history. Cynthia Boes happily reported that visitors can have a mugshot taken in one of the jail cells. Reader Bill Willetts’ father served as sheriff at the old jail. Some say the jail is haunted, and it is a stop on a local ghost tour. The building now serves as a museum operated by the Southport Historical Society. The winning entry chosen at random from all correct submissions came from Allen Dearry of Oak Island, a Brunswick Electric member.
