Legends of Lancaster: Exploring the Columbia Market House Dungeon [video]
Exploring the Columbia Market House Dungeon. The markethouse has operated since the early 1800s with the current structure built in 1869. Below the building lies a former jail, called "the dungeon," with 7 rooms, one of which is metal plated. "Drunks" were the most common inmates, staying for a few days before being released. Big names like John L. Sullivan, the bareknuckle boxing champion of the world, who was confined for drinking, and Thomas Edison, who was arrested for speeding in an electric car down Locust Street. In the late 1800s, the dungeon was shut down due to poor conditions, though it has since opened for tours and to paranormal investigators.
