Tour this National Historic Landmark!
Welcome to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (AKA the Weston
State Hospital) located in Historic Weston, West Virginia. 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.
We offer a variety of historic and paranormal tours during our season.
We are open Tuesday through Sunday. Our tour season
will end mid November for historic restoration and general
repairs. Ghost hunts
of
this massive building run year round.
