The Cascades Female Factory Historic Site More Info

While the building here has had many uses, its first use was its most notorious-a crowded prison for women and their children. Explore its prison past and other uses through daily tours, archaeological digs, a memorial garden, and site shop. This site is now the home for the famous Island Produce Tasmania Fudge Factory. Address: 16 Delgraves Street South | Hobart, TAS | 7004 [ Map ]
Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site More Info

+ My Favorites
On the outside, it's a fine example of Georgian ecclesiastical architecture. On the inside, it is a disturbing edifice that contains underground passages, solitary confines, and an execution yard. Its chilling past is linked to the gaols adjacent to it. Tours daily, and evening ghost tours available by appointment. Address: Cnr Brisbane and Campbell Sts | Hobart, TAS | 7250 [ Map ]
