For over 100 years we had a large mental hospital here. Most of the patients were given the run of the town in the daytime. They were given money to go to the movies. The hospital used volunteers to raise vegetables, cattle, hogs, apples, etc. The patients even had a traveling baseball team. Then the liberal courts decided they were being treated unfair and closed the hospital. Most ended up as street people. There is a cemetery for those that died homeless. Over 1,000 local people lost their jobs. Quite a hit on a county of 23,000. I put carpet in a few patient rooms, they were more like apts. No bars, not even locks on the doors. They even had their own medical clinic with full-time doctors and nurses. They even had a private lake to fish in.
