Investigation will be from 9pm-4am.
Your ticket is for one overnight investigation at The Glore Psychiatric Museum. The Glore Psychiatric Museum exhibits feature the 130-year history of the adjacent state mental hospital, and illustrate the history of mental health treatment through the ages. The collection began in 1966 when George Glore, an employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health, built some life-size models of primitive devices formerly used for mental health treatment. The models, together with a growing collection of other artifacts, became a museum in 1967. At first the museum was housed in a ward of the original "State Lunatic Asylum No. 2", renamed the "St. Joseph State Hospital" in 1899. The asylum was built in 1874 and resembled a fortress. From an initial population of 25 patients it expanded until it housed nearly 3,000 patients in the 1950s.. The Glore Museum moved to a 1968 building outside the prison gates that was originally a clinic for patients at the mental hospital. The museum displays many artifacts from the mental hospital, including medical equipment, staff uniforms, photographs, and artwork and writing created by the patients.
