Norwich State Hospital ( Insane asylum )

Probably the most famous part of this hospital was its extensive tunnel system that connected almost every building.

More than 4,000 people at one time walked the grounds and lived in the buildings.

From Oct. 10, 1904, when it opened as the Norwich Hospital for the Insane, to Oct. 10, 1996, these grounds held people from all over the spectrum of life. At one time, the Norwich Hospital was one of the top mental health facilities in New England, and one of the top 20 in the country.

In a few months, the state will decide what will finally become of these 470 acres when it selects a developer.

Some want to build a golf course. Others want to turn it into a theme park with beautiful vistas and movie studios. Still others want to turn it into office space.

You can find a map (overlay?) of buildings and tunnels here.
