Old Main, the New York State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, opened in 1843. It was the first asylum in NYS and the second in the United States. Dr. Amariah Brigham was the first superintendent and brought his moral treatment to the asylum. People with mental illness would be rescued from a life of chains, confinement, and isolation to come to Utica. They would work on the asylum farm, print shop, garden, among other occupations. The patients would have their own Asylum Band, perform stage shows, and write, edit and sell the most popular asylum publication ever conceived: The Opal. The infamous Utica Crib would hold severe patients in its caged confinement. The asylum would average 2700 visitors a year in the 1850's making it among the most visited locations in the United States. Old Main closed on September 28, 1978. The building, with its iconic Greek Doric columns, was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Old Main still attracts large crowds and is considered one of the most haunted buildings in the United States.
