Definately Jetsons..... or 50s science fiction.....

reminds me of the robots on the Jetsons ....a relative of Rosie or something.....

Actually TONI, it has NOT been "opened & active for over 200 years'"seeing as it was only built in the beginning of the twentieth century and closed before the millenium.

I suggest you check your sources more carefully.
Even Motts has the dates posted in the Letchworth section

the lights r on ooooooh

Sometimes groups like TAPS and others cannot get the approval for using the sites, or cannot find who really 'owns' the property in order to do filming in the location.

There has been movement to try and transform Letchworth into a senior center but within recent years the funding has fell through and maybe for even more sinister reasons as well. The Palisades group who once owned (or rather tried to buy?) the property may not want it to become public that the place is haunted; and could therefore cause the price to drop, or cause unwanted publicity.

I know I would LOVE to see a formal investigation of beloved Letchworth, but not at the dire price of her becoming directly in the eye of the public or worse more teenagers/hoodlums/arsonists who wish to do harm.

haha that fight was kinda funny.
i agree with KatyKate, sorry dude in all those rambles. Sometimes what you write doesn't make sense. But we love yah!

In response to you TONI;
I regret to inform you that you have no credibility saying I AM the one destroying the 'experience' for people like you. I did not set fire to any buildings, I do not deface what I consider to be hallowed ground and I sure as hell am not the person you are accusing me to be.

I in fact have worked with preservation groups, protected edifices that deserve a chance to be restored, and have written a documentary piece on abandoned estates/institutions/schools within the Hudson Valley.

If anything at all, I merely agreed to your statement that I believe Letchworth to be a portal to some other world, and that it should be protected and documented. On another note, I also do not need spellcheck in seeing that my ideas are quite a bit more coherent than yours.

Thank you and have a nice day. [and P.S. that WAS sarcasm.]

Geraldo Rivera did a piece called 'Willowbrook;The Last Disgrace' which featured Willowbrook [obviously], although Letchworth was referenced and depicted as well I believe.
There is also a documentary, "Christmas in Purgatory" which may have featured Letchworth along with Willowbrook.

Awesome pictures, Brittany, thanks for the link! And Mr. Motts, once again, you have outdone yourself!

Wish T.A.P.S. would go there!

So sorry Emma. Hope he finds relief!

Sounds like an extrordinary place to visit. With respect, of course.

went there today for the third time. i finally found the morgue.. me and my friends had been looking for it the past two times but we couldn't find it. somebody put a baby doll head in the top right one.. creepy!!

Maybe, ginberry

damn dude. it's called the enter button, and some puncuation. sheeesh.

out of that whole ramble i will agree ReVille is quite interesting and causes stirring of all the 5 senses. sometimes even six ;]
and the graves aren't hard to find. theyre right down the road a bit
