The Licking County Jail Ministries operates within the historic Licking County Jail, a Richardsonian Romanesque structure designed by renowned architect Joseph W. Yost and opened in 1889. This iconic building, known for its distinctive pink sandstone, has a storied past, including its use as a jail until 1987 and its association with significant historical events, such as the lynching of detective Carl Etherington during Prohibition.

Today, the jail is recognized not only for its historical importance but also for its haunted reputation, attracting paranormal enthusiasts and curious visitors alike. The Licking County Governmental Preservation Society oversees the site, promoting its restoration and historical significance while offering public and private tours that delve into its eerie past.
