Fairfield Hospital was created due to overcrowding at other hospitals. The hospital had 23 buildings that were connected by tunnels on 100 acres. The grounds included a chapel, theater, gym, bowling, library, power plant, lab, morgue, dairy farm, bakery, patient housing, staff dormitories, doctor housing, medical hospital, and cafeterias. The hospital was opened in 1933 and had 500 patients, and 3 doctors. By the 1960's the hospital had 4,000 patients, 20 doctors and 50 nurses. The treatments included hydrotherapy, insulin shock therapy, patient seclusion, Electroconvulsive therapy and lobotomies. Many say Fairfield is haunted due to questionable deaths and patient abuse. The first questionable death was when one patient was beaten to death by the staff at Fairfield. Some patients also starved to death, because no staff had come to assist them with eating. It was closed in 1995. History:

the center of the Fairfield campus is city hall,, its smack in the center of this campus. they tore down the library building. the campus is still in use, city hall is there and there are a bunch of fields and rec activities going on. you can still get into most of the buildings. last i went (summer 2019) this is what it was like, the tunnels were being renovated so i wasn't able to go down there sadly :(
