About this product

Product Information

Northern Michigan Asylum, which opened in 1885, was known during most of its years as Traverse City State Hospital. It was run during its first decades by Dr. James Decker Munson, who left his legacy in the landscaped grounds and the medical center that today bears his name. Traverse City State Hospital served the mental health needs of a large part of Michigan for 104 years until its closure in 1989, housing a population as large as 3,000 in its many buildings.This book traces the history of this great institution, from the local and mental health context in which it was founded, through its growth, development, and decline, and finally to its renovation and preservation as a vital part of the Traverse City community. More than 200 photographs and images are provided, including many of the features and buildings long gone.

Very well packaged and shipping for a book was way faster than expected…had it in a few days instead of a couple of weeks…great transaction. A+++! Book was better than in just “Good” condition as described…was almost new…couldn’t be happier.

    Interesting book but taking the tour of the old asylum grounds is even better.

    Interesting book with good pictures of the old mental health asylum. I wish it would have had some personal stories to go along with it. I was interested in learning more about the place after taking a tour and learning that it had been renovated into shops and condos. Beautiful grounds. Good price for a good book of photographs.
