Livery Stable & Jail


Livery Stable


The Livery Stable stands across the street from Girling Mercantile next to the Cedaredge City Jail.  It too, came from the Girling collection. It houses a loaned statue of a horse, an early saddle, and a variety of items related to raising and handling horses. The building has been divided. The other half has the creamery display.

PIONEER TOWN HISTORY

Cedaredge Town Jail

Several stories have been told about the jail. One, related in Surface Creek Country, by Hazel Austin tells of, "a Cedaredge visitor who was picked up on a drunk charge and put into the little jail. Because the building was so well constructed, the prisoner could neither tear down the bars or break down the door". He did, somehow, manage to escape through a hole in the roof, perhaps by removing a stove pipe or chimney. He escaped before daylight and apparently left the area, not to be seen again.
