Between the years 1878 and 1957 there were 1652 people buried here in graves marked only by numbered stones. Since 1999 there has been an annual ceremony to honor and name those buried on the grounds, and large stones have been erected to list the names, year of death and age of each person. It is hoped that the patients buried here will finally receive respect and that the former stigma of mental illness will be erased.
