Details:
Have you ever wanted to explore every part of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum? This is your chance.
Monday, August 17, the Asylum will be closed to the general public for a rare, unrestricted guided experience led by our most seasoned tour guides.
This in-depth tour covers all four floors of the Main Building, the Medical Center, the Criminally Insane Unit, and the Women’s Auxiliary Building. You will also explore a former lobotomy and recovery area and the oldest section of the hospital, originally constructed during the Civil War.
