This place is absolutely massive. Unfortunately, the hospital buildings are closed for exploration, but the extensive grounds and farm buildings still remain. We spent all day here with Tim and Leah (Decay With Us) and still didn’t cover all of the facility. 1976 saw the closure of the facility due to the state legislature cutting off all funding. So what happened to all the patients who needed help?

Incredible how big some of those places were. I believe the bull barn is where everyone went to get coffee in the morning. You know, to shoot the bull about yesterday and today. The fenced area was for the ones that pled temporary insanity. Alas, now they run our country or sleep in the parks and streets. Great work. Loved the pin and my coffee ☕️ 😊❤

Hi Steve and Andrea - the scale of this place is incredible. Every style of construction was used, from what looked like wattle and daub, timber, brick and reinforced concrete. Nice idea, to have a self- financing psychiatric facility, but that ceased working, if it ever did, or lack of state funding would not have closed it

Earlier while viewing your video my interest was sparked when it was mentioned that you weren't sure if equipment there was used for pasteurisation. I was going to mention Louis Pasteur and 1862, and that by the 1920's it was common place to pasteurise milk. But that would have been to long of a comment. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.😊

What an interesting place, so gigantic. I had no idea about this one, but I live somewhat near a similar place, which is much smaller, and still active. I've heard, from several friends, that burying the deceased, out in a field, was done there, too. I guess in those days, it must have been a common practice. Fortunately, today I believe most people believe mental illness is real. I don't think most people think it is something to be ashamed of, and quietly locked away for. Thank you, Andrea and Steven for another amazing video.🛣👏🏻❤️‍🩹

Very cool! The insane asylum i hung out at was a poor farm in the 1800s. It was self sufficient an the people worked it. 1914 they built new buildings. I'm surprised you didn't see s jail there. It did look like a prison there. That one place looked like a crematory. Would a body fit in that burner? That place is huge!!! I think they used the patient's for slaves. Very sad. They made movies of some of those places in the 70s. Heraldo ( not sure how to spell that) made films of some. It was terrible. Then they started cutting the funding. Excellent video thanks guys

That is the thing about the news, they can over exaggerate and sensationalise things that may not really be wide spread and everyone starts over reacting. Same old story over and over. Some places were horrible there is no denying that, but to end up closing down all of them…

Hello there 2024 and the 2 of you .I find this very interesting seeing the state of the art farm of its day .In 1957 my parents were dairy farmers 40 miles north and there was a farm tour they went on this was a top of the line dairy. Any way as we went up the drive way a man was sitting with a fishing pole in a MUD PUDDLE my dad said how is the FISHING the guy looked up with a smile and said not so good but thats Ok I live here and went back to his FISHING true story but still a sad .🤔

One reason it's shut tight might be either asbestos or lead paint. I used to work at the clinic on Newport naval base in Rhode Island. The old, rumored hospital next door was locked up tight because of asbestos. I think it's still standing as well as nice officer housing for the same reason

Amazing, interesting explore. The missus sez I'm a bit eccentric so perhaps I would have fit there. I know I would have relished living and working there - employee or patient. Also, because she's a Nebraska farm-girl I'm certain the wife would have enjoyed being there also. She has relatives who worked at the Beatrice State Developmental Center near Beatrice, Nebraska. Sounds like a similar agricultural & vocational site. As a girl she visited her relatives who hosted big picnics on the grounds. --True Story!-- Thanks for sharing. Bon Voyage!

Funny...I was in Bellingham when I watched this video this morning!

I remember when that happened. I think the Federal funding was pulled first and the State funding soon followed that of the Federal. I think most of the patients went back to their families and the rest were dumped out on the street and soon filled the homeless missions. The homeless missions would give them a place to sleep and get a meal, but they were kicked out to wander the streets during the day. I use to have some advertising meetings in a greasy spoon downtown that often had folks having conversations with an empty counter stool. Today ... we would assume they using a Bluetooth phone, but are they? 🙂 Interesting explore! There was a time when farms of this nature were used to help the poor, aged, and unstable, but that all changed when a larger portion of the population became more urban and far less rural!
