Final Words:

We are thrilled by all the interest in Rolling Hills Asylum and LOVE meeting the people who come to investigate or even just out of curiosity. However, please keep in mind this private property and is owner occupied!

So please, be respectful and refrain from wandering about the property at whim. If you are driving by, feel free to take pictures from the front steps of the infirmary but please do not stroll about the property like it is a public park.

Our dogs wander the property freely and you risk getting bit or worst.

Please understand this is private property and my family LIVES here. The dogs are secured during hunts and tours but the rest of the time they are free to enjoy their HOME.

RHA is not public property it is private property and privately owned. We open it up to the public on select dates for people to enjoy and learn about the history and the spirits here.

All we are asking for is a little respect. After all, we'd never pull up to your house, get out of the car, an begin strolling around your property, back, yard, barns or garages. It just isn't appropriate and it's trespassing.

Always check a location's website for details, rules and regulations - that way you will avoid problems with owners, authorities or the police.
