The Springfield Hospital Center in Sykesville, Maryland, was once one of the most important psychiatric hospitals in the state. Opened in 1896, Springfield represented a new model for mental health care — a self-contained campus of small, scattered buildings rather than a single massive asylum.
In this video, we explore the abandoned parts of Springfield Hospital Center, uncover its rich and complicated history, and see what remains today.
Springfield's story mirrors the broader rise and fall of America's state mental hospital system: initial optimism, periods of overcrowding and decline, slow reform, and eventual abandonment.
📍 Location: Sykesville, Maryland
