Exploring the Real Abandoned Asylum behind “Shutter Island” - Medfield Insane Asylum, MA (4K)

"Remember us, for we too have lived, loved and laughed"
Thank you for joining me as I solo-explore the abandoned Medfield State Hospital (AKA Medfield Insane Asylum. Constructed in 1896 and abandoned in the early 2000s, this facility treated 2200 patients at its peak. Since then, the dozens of buildings have sat boarded up. This location was used as a film site in the 2010 film “Shutter Island” which was directed by Martin Scorsese and starred Leonardo DiCaprio.
Note: No trespassing occurred during the filming of this video. All locations are public land and the memories of those who lived & died in this place were respected at all times.

They should at least open the best standing building and make it a museum with stuff they can find in the other buildings.

I agree, the whole place should be a museum. Thanks so much for watching! I’d appreciate it if you’d consider subscribing to my channel!

These buildings are probably in such good condition because they are boarded up so well. I’m glad that you showed respect by not trying to force your way inside. They might be better inside than we think. Lead paint certainly. Asbestos is not hazardous unless it is airborne. This made me subscribe to your channel.

I never realized how large this place was. This place was still open in the 1970s.

[@LoneandLevelSands]

Ya it was surprisingly expansive. I didn’t realize until I got in there just how big it was. Thanks so much for watching! I’d appreciate it if you considered subscribing

The government should be required to return all their abandoned properties back to useful canvases for redevelopment. That means clean it up and get to it....

[@LoneandLevelSands]

Completely agreed. Thanks so much for watching!

It's really interesting how most windows are boarded up but then there's some that just aren't? It just makes me think. Wish they'd let people into the buildings it'd be interesting to see what condition they're in
