Columbia Market House
Columbia Market House Review
Built in 1869, the Columbia Market House is one of the oldest farmers' market sites in the state. The basement was once used as a dungeon; from the outside, you can still see the ground-level windows through which prisoners were shoved down a chute into the darkness, and guided tours are available Thursday and Friday afternoons or by appointment.
