I grew up just down the hill from Essex Mountain. I was around back in the late 60s and early 70s up there. i still remember hiking up into that area, and seeing people from there around the area. we used to sneak up there as kids. i moved down the shore back when they closed the place in 1975. they still had some patients back then. years later, when i was in high school, in 1982, i got my license and this was one of the first places i remember driving to with friends and sneaking around the abandoned buildings. back then there was still much left behind and it wasn't all too ragged out. |
