Overview
Rolling Hills Asylum in East Bethany, NY is an historical property that is authentically haunted! Originally opened in 1827 as The Genesee County Poor House, it became a safe haven for the mentally and physically disabled, war veterans, widows, orphans, drunkards, and more. In 1938 the county added a hospital to the facility – the Genesee County Infirmary, and in 1964 it converted the property to the Genesee County Nursing Home, or as the locals lovingly referred to it as “the old county home” until closing in 1974. Steeped in nearly 200 years of history, mystery and mayhem, today, Rolling Hills Asylum’s nearly 60,000 sq. ft. is reputed to be the most haunted asylum in the USA and has been featured in numerous films and television shows such as Syfy’s Ghost Hunters, Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, and Destination America’s Ghost Asylum. Come on out and enjoy an Historical or Flashlight tour, a public or private ghost hunt, horror movie night, celebrity event, or one of the dozens of other special events! We are open year round, even in the winter! Rolling Hills Asylum is located just 45 minutes between Rochester and Buffalo off exit 48 in Batavia. For more details go to www.RollingHillsAsylum.com
