asylums, I just thought you'd like to have a link to your own web page from this board, for those that don't come here via your site.
 www.historicasylums.com Also, if you would like current photos of the Weston State Hospital, I can send you a set [all exterior]. |

I would like to invite you all to a virtual airplane ride around Northampton State Hospital. I created this 360 degree flight with photographs by Paul Franz, and Macromedia Flash, -- to see it click here: Interactive Airplane Ride, and please be patient while it downloads... Many thanks to Paul Franz and Chuck Meyer, and to Klon of Klondike Sound, who came up with the idea! Anna 1856.org |

Does anyone know how to get records of Missouri State Hospital #3 better know in 1887 as Lunatic Asylum #3 in
Nevada, Missouri? I am doing genealogy on our family and just found out my G-grandmother was admitted there and died there. Can't find what happened to her body. Of course the hospital is torn down and the records dept. won't tell me anything. Thank you very much |

Danvers State has unmarked graves .. as this was the custom to do at the time ... there is a good chance that this hospital has a field of round numbered stones.. we have a picture of what these stones may look like on our site here is a link www.geocities.com/danvers...pital.html feel free to contact us as we are trying to figure out the burial mystery also ...

Yes, there are unmarked graves at Danvers and there is a group of people doing something about it right now in terms of memorialization, -- read these articles:

Yes this is true ... But i want to the people who have family there to know whick stone to pray at. I feel these families have a right to know where there loved ones are... The state has really slipped up on this one ...

for your information, all the graves are going to be restored and matched with the names of the people buried there.
you could join the group and their efforts if you are interested in this!? they always need more helpers! |

These groups are good and they do some of what needs to be done .... buuuuuuuut .... they tortured the hell out of some of these people ...I have read files about patience dying during shock therapy .... then the next memo in the file is a letter to the family stating untimely death .. they people should be compensated by the state.... A name on a stone is a start but the decendants i think are owed alot more .......
Also off the subject ... i have posted numorous times with very lax comments ..nothing crazy or vulgar .. but yet the moderator never puts up my post .... im starting to think there is a breach of the old freedom of speech stance... or an issue that i don't know about ... but to close this board to be moderated isnt working ... we only get to see what the moderator wants us to see... if thats the case why have a board like this ... why not just have only the moderator speak there mind ... because the last 4 postings ive made only one got thru ... i advertise this site with all my effort... please be respectful and let me chat with other people ... the internet should not be restricted ... if my post had swears in them i would understand ... but they don't and i don't think its fair the moderator gets to pick and chose the post that they agree with and post only those ... by doing this you've lost the porpose of the board Best Regards C.B. |

The groups that are working on getting the cemeteries recognized and memorialized are EX-PATIENT run! They were NOT the ones who tortured anyone. READ THE ARTICLES AGAIN! Theo |

sorry the sencond "they" that i reffered to was the staff at D.S.H. .... Secondly have you been to the site ... they havent done anything .... there stones that are kicked out and missing .... its one thing to get your 15 minutes of fame for a humanitarian issue ...but ...when the time come how come there not out there puttin the stones back ....I do .... and i dont belong to a group .. that the problem with these efforts poeple get to caught up with belonging to a group ..... IF YOU CARE ..... go get off your couch , get in your car .... and go to the site...... and make a difference... like i've been doing for years.... Theo you seem like you care ....but to truly care is to go and get your hands dirty on a weekly basis.... Its easy to wave the flag of caring .... its other thing t go out and make a difference..
Best Reguards C.B. |

Does anyone know where I can find the records for the State Hospital from 1939-59? A comatose patient was there for approximately 20 years. She was hit by a drunken driver.

I don't know if any of you live in the Boston area, but I do, and I pass through the town of Waltham (Massacusetts) very frequently. I have seen a building to which the only visible sign is on a smoke stack saying "J. Riley Company." I found out from my mother that it was an asylum for the insane some time ago. I am now doing a project on it that requires quite a lot of research. I am now aware that this (J. Riley Company) is not the name of the asylum, as I have been searching that over the internet, and have only know found something remotely near to the real name due to this web-site. If anyone knows the real name that it was given when first erected, or the name to which it is now referred to, I would greatly appreciate if you would post another message of your information. I was also wondering, for anybody out there, if there were any pictures which could be seen, copied, and given back if needs be. I am in no rush, but it would be helpful if the information was posted ASAP.
Thank you for replying, Nutty4Waltham |

yes, it's called metropolitan state hospital. it was closed in 1991 due to severe asbestos. i've been exploring up there recently since asked to do a security job while a low budget horror film was being shot there. there are about 8 buildings, all intact with furniture and everything, but very difficult to get into, since most of it is boarded up. as for records on this place, i've found next to nothing on the internet.....there really wasn't anything on this site either.

okay, as soon as i get the stupid software for the scanner, i'll give you those pics. i've gone down there a few more times, and i've figured out how to get into the tunnels. they make it so much easier to get from building to building. if you want to meet up sometime and do a little exploring, let me know.
