Asylum Search This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XAB.2ACE/1101.2 Message Board Post: The facility you are speaking of was a mental hospital, "Kentucky State Hospital"...It was called "Darnell General Hospital" during WWI I believe...It is not a state prison...patients were transferred to other institutions when the facility was shut down in the 1970's...old records, IF they are public records, should be obtainable thru Kentucky's Open Records Act...you may want to contact the Kentucky Department of Mental Health in Frankfort, Kentucky for additional information...
