About the event

Learn about the history of the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital  as we explore the patient-built underground tunnels and  nineteenth-century cottages. Tour presents an overview of the 89-years  of the Hospital's history, acknowledges the varied experiences of  patients and staff across different decades, and traces major treatment  changes across time. Tour concludes with an optional entry into one of  the un-renovated attics above the cottages.
