In Weston, Virginia, a long-vacant mental institution most recently known as Weston Hospital has been purchased by private interests and subsequently renamed The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Needless to say, the name change has sparked crazed bickering. Nonetheless, the new owners have begun offering tours of the sprawling 370-acre 19th-century complex along with plans for mud-truck races, “Psycho Path” dirt-bike races, a reunion of former employees, a “Hospital of Horrors” tour in October, and a “Nightmare Before Christmas” tour in December. “It’s like turning back the clock to a time we don’t want to go back to,” complained the director of a mental-health advocacy group. But what about the mud racing? Somehow, we doubt they had as much fun back then.
