Upcoming EventsOur Story

PSH History Museum

Our Peoria State Hospital Museum is located inside of the original Horse Barn-turned-Firehouse of the institution. It is the home to thousands of newspaper articles, historical photographs, and authentic artifacts from the Peoria State Hospital.

The museum is open during historical tours and events only.

Movie Nights

Located at the home of the Haunted Infirmary - the Pollak Hospital - movie nights are a full evening of entertainment including a scary movie and like-themed Haunt Hallway or Haunted Trail (shorter than the Haunted Infirmary October event.)

Dates and times vary.

The Courtyard Bazaar

The Old State Hospital Courtyard Bazaar is an annual vendor event held at the building complex formerly known as Lohman Hall - the activities center for the Peoria State Hospital. Our last bazaar boasted over 80 vendors and entertained the patrons with live entertainment.

Event times and dates vary.

History Tours

The History Tour includes a historical slideshow of the Peoria State Hospital, a tour of the Pollak Hospital (tuberculosis ward of PSH), a tour of the cemeteries (weather permitting,) historical scenes with costumed actors, a visit to the Peoria State Hospital Museum, and after a brief intermission, the option to stay at the Pollak Hospital for a 2 hour paranormal investigation. Tour dates are seasonal.

Dates and times vary. See link for availability.

Paranormal Tours

Your ghost-hunting team will begin its evening with a historical slideshow of the asylum history and paranormal activity of the hospital, followed by a guided tour of the tuberculosis ward building of the Peoria State Hospital. Afterwards, your team will be left with only one building caretaker so that you may enjoy hunting for paranormal activity alone with your team in the historic asylum location.

Sold Out for 2016 Season.
