I didn't get involved with Fairfield Hills until late 2003 on a drive through the campus. It wasn't until the snow thawed that I had a better look at the campus that I fell in love with it. I felt the memories of life that once was breathed into these buildings. I started to imagine paients walking down halls of photos I saw, staff walking down the sidewalks between the buildings, a night at Plymouth Hall when a movie was shown and the crackle of excitement in the air when a party was held. FairfieldStateHospital.com is a personal project of mine to debunk rumours of the hospital and to provide an honest history. I felt the need to learn as much as I could about the insitution, and there's always more for me to learn and share. In retrospect, what the community fought at first is now a huge historial monument that can share its resources with the community. Developing this website and doing the research has been very fulfilling to me from both a curious and creative standpoint. I am excited to share my passion with others as well as receive feedback from them to create a sense of community which the future of Fairfield Hills will offer. The intent of is for the user to create their own experience. There are photo galleries, PDFs of building specs and layouts, information pages on buildings and usage, histories of influencial people involved with Fairfield State Hospital, histories by decade, as well as a basic overview. The user may go as deep into information as they like or they may simply persue the site. The forum can be used for questions, contacts, additional information, people with additional sites, or banter.
