Locals are invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area, Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.

The event will be held inside the prison's historic cell block, where inmates once wielded razors as both barbers and dentists, and will feature live performances by the Yuma Barbershop Harmony Chorus, delivering classic harmonies in the historic setting.
