Hidden History Unlocked presents UTICA, an extremely rare look inside one of America's oldest asylums. Opening in 1843 as the first asylum for the care of the mentally ill in the state of New York, the building known as "Old Main" was in operation until 1978 at which point it closed for good, remaining largely dormant and off limits to most, until now.
