Rolling Hills Asylum. Located in East Bethany, NY. Opened its doors in 1827 and they remained open until 1974.
It originally opened as the Genessee Counry poor farm. It would often house orphans, physically disabled individuals, mentally insane and even criminals. Everyone who resided at the farm were called inmates, regardless of who they were. It was a self-sufficient working farm that spanned over 200 acres.
When someone would pass without any known family, they were buried in the cemetery that was located at the poorhouse. As of today, an actual cemetery register or plot map has not been located or recovered. There has since been a memorial created at the Genesee County Park to remember those who died while living in the Poor farm.
If you haven't been yet or are unsure if you want to, what are you waiting for? There is so much history here to learn and even more paranormal activity to discover. Get in for a flashlight tour or better yet. Book a private investigation to get the whole building to yourself! We have been there and loved every second of it.
