Officially called the Western State School and Hospital (aka Western Center), Morganza was torn down at the end of 2011.
It was used in a few films, including a brief scene in "Silence of the Lambs".
A reform school, a state hospital...if those walls could have talked, imagine the stories they may have told.
33 children are buried on the grounds here.
An eerie place, indeed.
If you'd like to know a little more about Morganza, I recommend reading this book, "The Morganza, 1976: Life in a Legendary Reform School"
