Kings Park Psychiatric Center Walking Tour

Meet across the street from Kings Park Psychiatric Center in the parking lot of RJO Intermediate school.  The tour will last about 2 hours and will be led by Kings Park Historian Steve Wever.  Video and still cameras may be brought along.

Learn about the history of each building, the purpose and the folklore associated with the buildings and grounds. Along the way we have former employees as special guest speakers, giving additional information. Past speakers have included King Pedlar and Gil Harris. We do not go inside of the buildings and we can not permit any discussion talking about accessing the inside of the buildings.

All hikers should be fit enough to hike for approximately two hours and should bring water. If you are less-able or dis-abled let us know and we will do our best to accomodate you.
