Timeline
of Manteno State Hospital
An
incomplete, yet more comprehensive timeline of the history
of Manteno State Hospital.
This
timeline is something that I have been piecing together
in efforts to chronologically organize research materials
and is not meant to be all-inclusive nor is it completely
error free. The intent of this timeline is to provide
readers with a one-page chronological reference. More
information may be added in the future.
