Abstract

This article describes how people continue to go into the closed up Kings Park Psychiatric Center in Long Island, New York. The Center has been closed for nearly ten years and vandals and other curious visitors go through fences to view the property that housed nearly 10,000 mental patients at one time. A group of young men are regular visitors and they are drawn by the history of the buildings and the people who stayed there.
