"...The laying of the cornerstone of the building from which will be administered the conduct of an institution which we will believe will surpass either of its predecessorsin the State in its facilities for the care and, so far as may be possible, the cure of those unfortunate people whose minds have become deranged with strange fancies and who have lost control over their thoughts and emotions. Here we hope that the pure air and sunshine and the cheerful outlook on nature so abundantly available on this beautiful hillside, combined with modern equipment and skillful treatment, may make it possible to restore to mental health many who have been groping in the fogs of despondency or hallunications, and that at least some of the gloom and suffering may be driven from the mind of the incurable." - the Honourable Mr. Eddy

8/12/05: Spent a few days @ The Hills. Expect more pictures soon!

7/28/05: Site redesign/ work on links

4/16/05: 1930 section of the site has been opened up.

4/1/05: Added Newtown Hall to the campus section. PDF also available. Currently working on the 1930's section of the site.

3/31/05: Finally secured the site with just enough content to justify setting up. Expect more throughout the months. I'll slowly be filling up the campus areas of the site and adding galleries later.

The purpose of this site is to detract from the common ghost hunting and thrill-seeking themed sites based on this campus but to provide an honest, historical overview of the hospital. While practices that were performed at Fairfield State only 50 years ago may seem barbaric by today's standards, at the time they were all steps in uncovering the fog that surrounded mental illness. This is a site to commemorate the lives saved and the employees of FSH/FHH that helped who many felt were helpless as well as those who passed during their stay on campus. May the past never be forgotten.
