Uncover the layered and often misunderstood history of Eloise Asylum, once one of the largest and most progressive facilities of its kind in the United States. This exclusive guided tour takes you deep inside original buildings rarely open to the public, where expert historians share stories of innovation, treatment, and the thousands of lives once lived within these walls. From its beginnings as a poorhouse to its transformation into a self-sustaining medical complex, Eloise holds a unique place in Michigan’s—and America’s—medical and social history.
Along the way, you’ll encounter architectural details that have stood the test of time and hear firsthand accounts that reveal the human side of this vast institution.
Please note: The building is not climate-controlled or ADA-compliant, and this tour involves extensive walking. Closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate attire are strongly recommended.
