Horse Head Hitching Post

In the early years of Folsom Prison, prisoners working in the quarry blasted this tree stump hitching post loose with dynamite, quarried it out, and cut and shaped it into a horse head hitching post. In the 1960's, it was moved to its present location in front of the bulletin board next to the walkway at the entrance gate.
