| BARTONVILLE STATE HOSPITAL |
The old state hospital. The first time I went to the state hospital was with a neighbor, back in 1979. I've been back 1000's of time since. I couldn't tell you how many night we spent wandering the hallways of the old building's on Friday and Saturday night. We covered every square inch of every building, every tunnel. It was like having a ghost town a few miles from my house. I see 100's of people making movies and taking pictures. I was one of them. I wish I could find the picture, but I think my mom through them out many years ago.
I found a great link with lots of old pictures from the state hospital. Check it out at www.wiu.edu
