About the Former DeJarnette Sanitorium
Former DeJarnette Sanitorium, located at 1290 Richmond Avenue in Staunton, Virginia, is a historic institution with a dark past. Originally part of the Western Lunatic Asylum, the facility was known for its controversial treatments of mentally ill patients and children. Under the leadership of Dr. Joseph DeJarnette, the institution became a center for eugenic sterilization and inhumane medical experiments. After Dr. DeJarnette's removal, the facility was renamed the DeJarnette Center for Developing Behavior, focusing on children's behavioral health issues. Despite efforts to change its reputation, the center closed in 1996, leaving the abandoned buildings as a popular spot for urban explorers. With a history of paranormal activity and a legacy of unethical treatments, the former sanatorium remains a haunting reminder of its dark past.
