Prairie View Rest Home - Lewis County, Missouri

A group from Quincy, Illinois traveled to Lewis County Missouri to visit the abandoned Prairie View Rest Home. There are reports of strange happenings inside this building. The facility was originally built as a poor house. People traded farm labor for a place to live and a meal.
It was converted to a nursing home in the 1950's and closed in the 1980's.
The building sits all alone in the middle of a field just West of the Lewis County fairgrounds.

Don't know about whether it is haunted or not but that place is creepy to me! I remember as a young teen visiting at least two relatives there. I remember the smells (like overpowering antiseptic) and the depressing, dark main entry/sitting room. Gave me the creeps then and still does when I think about it! Can't imagine what it must have been like to live there! I didn't know about any slave cemetery though. I grew up in Ewing, just a few miles east.
