The plaque reads:

"Frisco's first and only jail featured four 7 x 10 foot jail cells and was moved to the park in 1983 from the east side of Fifth Avenue, a half block off Main Street. The jail was built by J. Scott and William Myers, who used square nail construction and recycled wagon wheels to hand forge door and window hardware."

There is one cell still in the cell for visitors to 'enjoy' as well as many artifacts from the 1890s during the silver boom in Frisco. The jail is part of Frisco's Historic Park (visit link) and is free to visit.
