A few weeks ago we had a special visitor from Canada come to our museum. Gerald Wexler won awards for co-writing the screenplay to Margaret’s Museum.

I had a lot of fun sharing some of our old patient records with Mr. Wexler. I have always thought that Pueblo and our Asylum’s history would make an excellent series for television, kind of like American Horror Story.

Well, the development of this website took a short delay over the past two weeks, as I came down with COVID and had to stay home. I slept more than anything else, so it’s nice to be back at the Museum and working on things.

This blog will hopefully find a comfortable existence here and be updated regularly with things like THE ARTIFACT OF THE WEEK, or DID YOU KNOW? type posts. Until then, it’s just a place to document what needs to be done on this site. Our main page is misbehaving as I write this, showing double content. Our URL is currently blocked by the State Hospital, so to check anything out I have to pull it up on my phone.

So, back to work.

This is the first post on the blog that we are developing for the Colorado State Hospital Museum. This blog will feature some of the most interesting artifacts and stories that we come across while studying the museum’s old tomes.

This site is proudly run by volunteers. Right now it is very bare-bones, but we plan on changing that. We certainly plan on the blog being the main place on the site for interesting news and features. Other than that, we want to make sure that people know where we are and how they can visit us.
