It is down by a town called Millerton. It's way down in the southeast corner of the state. It was an indian boarding school for girls. It's one of the top 11 most endangered historical places in the country. It is run by a woman named Barbara Grant and there is a full time caretaker that lives there. I was there about two weeks ago and it is a beautiful place. The buildings are mostly locked up because they are dangerous to be in and anyone caught trespassing will be arrested. There is a museum that is open to the public in one of the buildings and there are certain days they give tours.

I was there about 10 years ago, the door was open for the main building and some mean looking dogs came out and started barking at us. I left quickly, needless to say.
