The Cascades Female Factory Audio Experience
The Cascades Female Factory Audio Experience provides an overview of the history of the site as well as the stories of the women and children that spent time here. Most of the structures and buildings that made up the Cascades Female Factory have been removed or lost with time. Today, you can take your time as you wander through the space and listen to true tales of the courage, resourcefulness and resilience of the women lived, worked and aspired to a better life outside these same walls. The audio experience fills in the space between then and now.

Chapter 12: Probation System (Location: Yard 3)
The Probation System replaced the Assignment System in the 1840s. This was a new way to manage, punish and reform convicts.
If at Cascades Female Factory, we recommend you listen to this chapter as you walk through the exercise yard (stop 12).
