GLOVERSVILLE - At least six people condemned by the legal system in
the 1800s were hung in a portable gallows that was based at the old
jail in Johnstown.

Despite the years that have gone by, the hanging gallows still exist.
The original top beam and hook from the gallows are part of a new
exhibit at the Fulton County Museum. The exhibit also includes an old
jail cell.

The cell and gallows previously were at the former Fulton County Jail
on East Montgomery Street in Johnstown. The building now is the Fort
Johnstown Annex, which contains county offices and has been undergoing
renovations.
