  • Listen to your RHA Guide. If they put restrictions on areas to investigate, ask you to keep up with the group, not to wander during the tour, etc. its usually because they have your safety and best interest in mind and want to expedite the tour in order to get you out on your own as quickly as possible.

Final Words:

We are thrilled by all the interest in Rolling Hills Asylum and truly LOVE meeting the people who come to investigate or even just visit out of curiosity. However, please keep in mind this is 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. They are secured during hunts and tours but the rest of the time they are free to enjoy their land and property.

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. Be respectful. After all, we'd never pull up to your house, get out of the car, and begin strolling around your property, back, yard, barns or garages. It just isn't appropriate and it's trespassing. Using this analogy- if you were to advertise that you are having a yard sale on xyz dates and times, but strangers decided to show up on non-advertised dates & times and wander about your property, you'd feel violated. Same here.

Always check any locations website for details, rules and regulations - that way you will avoid problems with owners, authorities or the police.
