- Preston Castle looms high over Gold Country in Northern California.
The ominous structure was opened in the 1890s as a boy's prison, an alternative to sending the kids to big prisons like San Quentin. This was a very early Juvenile Hall.
Years of neglect took it's toll until the Preston Castle Foundation took over to preserve this incredible piece of Wild West history.
Preston School Of Industry which was in the castle is the setting of the new movie Apparition that just came out!
There are many stories of the land being haunted, which attracted many ghost hunting TV shows to flock to Ione, CA to do their own research.
We were fortunate enough to find some of the hidden history ourselves!
"Preston Castle, located in Ione, California, has a fascinating and storied history. Originally known as the Preston School of Industry, it was established in 1894 as a progressive approach to the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. The castle-like structure was designed by architect Albert A. Bennett and built by juvenile wards of the state using locally quarried stone.
Throughout its history, Preston Castle served as a residence, school, and vocational training center for young male offenders. Despite its noble intentions, the institution faced criticism and controversy due to reports of harsh discipline and overcrowding.
Over the years, the castle witnessed various changes in administration and programs aimed at reforming its methods. Despite efforts to modernize, the institution ultimately closed in 1960 due to outdated facilities and evolving approaches to juvenile justice.
Since its closure, Preston Castle has become a renowned historical landmark and a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The castle is now open to the public for tours, events, and paranormal investigations, offering visitors a glimpse into its intriguing past and the lives of those who lived within its walls."
