Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
If you are coming in on 79 South and want a little more of a spooky adventure I recommend the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum! This National Historic Landmark served as a sanctuary for the mentally ill beginning in the mid-1800's. This 160 year old asylum holds fascinating stories of Civil War raids, a gold robbery, the "curative" effects of architecture, and the efforts of determined individuals to help better the lives of the mentally ill. Tour this nationally recognized historic landmark and see how it left a lasting impression on local and national history. They offer a variety of historic and paranormal tours or its fun to just drive by!
