Great help. Enjoyed all the displays and information that was provided when all the buildings were the asylum.

Very interesting museum. Highly recommend. Some of the treatment "devices" were downright horrific in the past. This place will give you an unabashed look at the people who lived and died in these institutions.

This place was really neat and very educational. I definitely recommend checking it out at least once!! Oh and don't forget to buy yourself a cherry mash while your there lol
