Court Street

There are 1,930 people buried at the three cemeteries on the grounds of the former Athens Lunatic Asylum. Most graves are marked only with a number. After 1943, the state began putting names, births, and deaths, on the markers of the patients who died.

A quaint town in Southeast Ohio. Definitely worth a stop through. Lots of charming shops and an awesome old theater. #weekendgetaway

Called "The Ridges" currently, this large, looming building that overlooks Ohio University's campus was formerly a mental health hospital called the Athens Asylum for the Insane. There's a small museum inside now, and the rest of the grounds are owned by the university, but there is still certainly a chilling aspect to the building that calls to its past. Take a walk around the grounds or visit the museum, it's something worth seeing. Behind the building is a community park with areas that would be worth visiting in warmer days.
