Walk the grounds of what was once the largest mental institution in the world. The history filled walking tour will start and finish at the Central State Hospital Museum, located at the old train depot-storehouse on the grounds of the hospital. Historian, and award-winning photographer, Jessica Whitehead, will guide you through the grounds, sharing chilling history of the hospital and mental health treatment from years past. This tour seeks to educate and advocate for those with the most haunting of illnesses, those that effect the mind. <p fr-original-style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px; font: 400 medium / 1.375 "Univers W01", sans-serif; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgba(175, 179, 164, 0.4); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;' id="isPasted" style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-width: normal; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.375; font-family: "Univers W01", sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgba(175, 179, 164, 0.4); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; width: 100%;'>All tours begin at 6:00pm.
