Indiana State Sanatorium

Welcome to the Indiana State Sanatorium, the Midwest’s premier locations for paranormal investigation, photography and urban exploration. Located on over 200 acres in west-central Indiana the Indiana State Sanatorium offers full access to over 120,000 square feet of historic tuberculosis hospital, nursing home, mental hospital and supporting buildings includes thousands of feet of steam tunnels. The Indiana State Sanatorium operated as Indiana’s main tuberculosis hospital from 1908 to 1968. Re-opened as the Lee Alan Bryant Health Care Center in 1976, the site operated as a nursing home and private mental hospital until 2011 when it closed suddenly leaving behind hundreds of beds and hospital equipment.
