This site is to share public records regarding patients and employees of the Traverse City Asylum, State Hospital for the Insane, Northern Michigan Asylum, Traverse City Regional Psychiatric Hospital.
There is so little information available regarding patients, often known as inmates, that I felt it was important to post, make public, the little information available, as a genealogist, researcher and briefly, an "inmate" shortly before it closed.
My homage to those who suffered.

Asylum Opening
On November 30, 1885, the first patients arrived. 45 were transferred from the Eastern Michigan Asylum at Pontiac, and about 250 from the Michigan Asylum at Kalamazoo. The Asylum was to serve 39 counties, including all of the Upper Peninsula.
