About The Ohio State Reformatory

The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield offers self-guided and guided tours through 250,000 square feet of striking Gothic architecture, where visitors explore the history, Hollywood connections, and paranormal activity of this former prison. Tours include the Hollywood Meets History Tour and the Shawshank Bus Tour, following the filming locations of The Shawshank Redemption. Paranormal programs range from ghost hunts for curious visitors to investigations for experienced researchers. Escape rooms challenge problem-solvers to navigate cryptic puzzles within the prison's historic walls. The Scofield Café serves handcrafted lattes, grilled sandwiches, and baked goods made fresh daily. Overnight accommodations at Hancock Heights, located across the road, include a discounted admission code for daytime historical tours. Students, seniors, military, and first responders receive a five-dollar discount on tour tickets, according to verified pricing on mrps.org.
