Welcome to the Lunatic House

Here's another building at the Wood County Historical Museum in Bowling Green, Ohio.  It's the Lunatic House from 1885.  It was used for the "insane patients" at the Wood County Infirmary.  It had two floors, 26 x 40 feet, with the bottom floor divided into cells, and the upper floor used as a hospital.  It cost $1,700 to build.  I'm glad I was never made to stay there.

The Lonely Shepherd

I discovered these musicians not long ago and have become fascinated.  What do you think?

Welcome to the House

Back in the old days in Wood County, Ohio at the County Home, or the Infirmary. there was a place known as the Pest House.  According to the sign posted on the house it was a place used to "isolate residents with infectious diseases from the the rest of the infirmary household."  It doesn't sound like a very nice place or a place I'd like to be kept.  Gosh, how we have progressed since those "old" days.

Hello Friends

Hello Friends. I'm trying something new here tonight.  For the past several years I've had this blog on Davey1.Org that has been setting here dormant for quite a long time.  I'm going to try to revive it and post more content here, and I hope you'll join me.  There will be some surprises from time to time, and hopefully you won't be too bored.  I just want to share a few things here that won't be posted directly to my Facebook page, but when you see a link on Facebook my post will be just a click away.
