Hi Edward, I went there with my Father on Sunday's, from the Christian Reformed Church,he preached the sermon and I played my accordion. I was very young probably 10 or 11 years old. My Father called the buildings we went to were Fair Oaks,and Pratt Farm. One building for Men and one for women. I remember they had gardens outside. The houses were dark inside and the people looked very old,were in rocking chairs,lounge chairs and sofas. Some had blankets around them. I remember some were mouthing words,some sleeping,others staring. I remember feeling bad for them ,not really understanding why they were there. We also went on Sunday's to the main building on Oakland dr. Kalamazoo State Hospital. I remember always feeling sad as a child going there, and leaving them...because they looked so sad and alone.
