OVERVIEW

Housed on the grounds of the former State Lunatic Asylum No. 2, which opened in 1874 and later became St. Joseph State Hospital; the museum, begun in 1968 by longtime staffer George Glore, documents the history of psychiatric care through replicas, records, and equipment.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

The site's difficult institutional history draws paranormal interest, with staff and visitors reporting voices and cold spots; the museum itself is presented as history and education.
