Nebraska State Hospital
Nebraska State Hospital , also known as the Nebraska Asylum for the Insane, the Lincoln State Hospital and the Lincoln Regional Center was an insane asylum established near Lincoln, Nebraska in 1870.[1][2] Due to the understanding of mental health in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the facility treated everything from alcoholism to epilepsy and syphilis.[3] Among its former staff is Agnes Richards, who went on to establish the Rockhaven Sanitarium.[4]
While the original campus was nearly five hundred acres, it currently operates as the Lincoln Regional Center, a two hundred and fifty bed psychiatric hospital on a hundred-acre campus.[5][3]
