Old Jail - Claude Golden was the last person ever hung in the gallows of the old Jasper County Jailhouse. Golden was charged with raping a Beaumont woman and was brought to Jasper for forestall lynching. Those living near the courthouse square were treated to the sounds of his baritone voice singing hymns and patriotic songs of the day. The hanging was set for noon. The mayor stated that it seemed like the whole town stood still and waited for the sheriff to trip the level that would silence the "Golden Voice." The current old jail building was built during the depression, and today it is the location of the Jasper County Historical Commission. The old jail houses historical records for Jasper County and is open to the public Tuesdays - Fridays from noon to 4:30 p.m.
