Historic Walking Tour

Athens

Join George Eberts, long time employee and local expert on the Athens Asylum, for an outdoor tour of this storied building’s grounds. Eberts has many insights on patient treatment, as well as stories, personal anecdotes and hidden locations around the property. Visitors to the program will learn about Kirkbride asylums and the evolution of mental health treatment over the institution’s 150-year existence. Participants can meet at the Kennedy Museum of Art to gather before the two-hour tour.
