stroller.

tour will last approximately two hours.

Due to Ohio University restrictions, access to the inside of the buildings is limited, but you can tour the main entryway seen in the picture as well as the Kennedy Museum.

George will captivate you with his depth of knowledge as well as tell you the real stories of what life was like for the residents, as

well as the staff, at the Asylum.

months, if there is a level 2 or 3 snow emergency, the tour will be

canceled as well.
