The Troy Jail is a historic jail building listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Troy, Montana. It was added to the Register on December 27, 2006. [1]

The current jail was built in 1924 by local builder D.E Crissey for $1,760.00. [2] This fire-resistant, reinforced concrete twenty-by-forty-foot jail replaced the original wood-framed jail which at only ten-by-ten-foot had only enough room for a single cell. [3]
