Directly Across the Street from the Missouri State Penitentiary
Your home base for Missouri State Penitentiary tours.
Jefferson City, Missouri
Parker's Place sits directly across the street from the Missouri State Penitentiary — one of the oldest and most storied prisons in American history. Whether you're coming for a daytime history tour, a heart-pounding ghost tour, or a special haunted event, there's no better place to stay than right here.
The Carriage House at Parker's Place comfortably sleeps six, with a full gourmet kitchen, private porch, and a century of its own history built right into the walls. Gather your group, drop your bags, and walk across the street — the adventure starts at your front door.
After the tour, come back and swap stories over drinks on the porch. There's no better ending to a night at the pen than a cold drink and good company in a house that's just as storied as the one you just explored.

No shuttle, no parking headaches — Parker's Place is literally across the street from the MSP entrance. Walk to your tour and walk back. It doesn't get more convenient than this.
The Carriage House has two upstairs bedrooms and sleeps up to six — perfect for a friend group, family trip, or a crew of paranormal enthusiasts ready to make a weekend of it.
Fuel up before the tour or wind down after with a full kitchen featuring a granite island that seats four, an under-counter ice machine, and a beautiful 1923 farm sink. Drinks on us — or bring your own.
