Museo Histórico Regional de Ensenada

Here is a small piece of Ensenadan History. They no longer have a jail in the center of town. But that doesn't mean they don't exercise the strong arm of the law here. Very interesting place to visit. It is now a historical museum. It is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated. They also have a free, well maintained baño.

This is the old public jail of Ensenada which was closed, I think, 30 years ago. The tour is free and has lots of points of interest. For a good scary feeling about what it might have been to be incarcerated there, check out those tiny cells! Later walk across the street to the Megaburro cafe for a delicious meal and a margarita!

Free entrance to this museum is totally worth it. Feel free to leave some donations to keep this place open. :) it’s a old Mexican prison

A small free history museum with an overview of Baja from the Precambrian to the present. Most exhibits in the main gallery are signed in English and Spanish. A fascinating temporary exhibition on the local Japanese-Mexican community was Spanish only.

Price of admission is optional donation. Interesting displays and exhibits. Very much worth visiting.

Free museum lots of information and wonderful exhibits . Very helpful volunteers at the entrance

with a story about the first native settlers and the use they had as jail in the region

Small but interesting and a free museum. Worth a visit if you're into archeology, or you just want to know more about the history of people of the Baja region. Not all exhibits have English explanations but most do.
