Even though most of the buildings have been remodeled, this former Michigan asylum still gives me chills every time I walk by it. Now for one day only you and your friends can explore one of Michigan's most haunted places.

The Village at Grand Traverse Commons is now a beautiful property filled with apartments, shopping centers, and more, but the history of the former mental hospital is enough to give anyone chills. Although most of the the former Traverse City State Hospital has been renovated, there is still certain buildings that have been left to be explored. The Village will be hosting a historic tour of Cottages 22, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 40 on Saturday, June 4th. Tickets are a little pricey, but the experience is worth every penny considering you'll get a guided tour of the cottages.

"You will learn about Dr. Munson’s “Beauty is Therapy” theory on patient care, the former uses of the structures on the property, the purpose of the architecture and more. The tour will take you through an unrenovated historic building, a renovation project in process and the  tour will end with a walk through an amazing, brick steam tunnel built in 1883."  - The Village At Grand Traverse Commons
