Urban Exploring Outside of MD

Although this blog focuses on abandoned places in Maryland, I would like to acknowledge places outside of the state. These places exists throughout the country and even across the world.

I came across a movie title at the store the other day that struck my interest, "Session 9". Upon viewing the film, I discovered that it was a fictional tale of horror filmed at the abandoned Danvers State Mental Hospital in Massachusetts. It was interesting to watch the extra features that showed more of the large, fascinating property.

This Boston.com news article discussed how the popularity of the hospital may have increased after the movie was released. Because it is private property, "Since 2000, police have made 120 arrests for trespassing at the 500-acre site of the former Danvers State mental hospital".


I also mentioned in an earlier blog that I visited The Farm Colony in New York. This Historic Preservation website states that the colony was a poor farm. The nearby Seaview Hospital treated tuberculosis patients. This was one of my favorite places that I have ever visited, as it was so unique. The Farm Colony contains many buildings with beautiful archways and even a skeleton greenhouse structure.
