I have not been able to find any information or census concerning this place. There was the mental wards, childrens colony, TB colony, womens section (whatever that was for). I did training in the childrens colony when I was in nursing and my mother was a nurses aid in the mental section. For a short time my father was a patient in the mental section while he was waiting for a Nursing Home bed to become available. I do know that mental and non mental patients were mixed together at times. If any one knows where to find census or other information concerning Danvers State Hospital I would appreciate your help.
