Northern State Ghost Town — Saturday, Jul. 8, 2023

Had not been here for several years.  The out buildings have declined And very overgrown with blackberries and marked with graffiti.  Trails themselves are well maintained. However, Swift Center, where the hospital portion of the facility is, now has a historical walk open to the public (at you own risk). Several areas are still off limits to the public because they have been renovated and are being used by private companies.  The grounds were designed by the Olmsted Brothers and have large, stately trees.  The Veterans Trail has a section that made for good bird watching.
