Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump is one the oldest, largest and best preserved buffalo jumps in North America. The name refers to a young Piegan brave who stood below the sandstone cliffs to watch a hunt and was later found under a pile of buffalo with his skull crushed in.
For over 6000 years aboriginal people used the buffalo for their survival and drove them over jump sites across the western plains. Head-Smashed-In is among the largest and best preserved of these jump sites.

Main Entry Hall @ Weston
There was a fall festival on the grounds of Weston State Hospital a few weeks ago. I took over 100 pictures of the Hospital and they had tours so there will be interior pictures, too! Coming your way to this Flickr Station! Don't touch that dial! :P
Weston State Hospital is undoubtedly the jewel in Weston's crown. A Kirkbride Building, construction started in the late 1850s, and patients were first admitted in 1864. It has been expanded many times. The architect was R. Snowden Andrews of Washington DC. Local lore states that it is the largest hand-cut stone building in the country, and one of the largest in the world. It reportedly contains 9 acres of floor space.
I am cautiously optimistic about it's future. The current owner seems dedicated to saving it. It was sold for a measly $1.5 million. Rumor has it it will take over $80~$100 million dollars to restore.
The main building is on the National Register alone, however, the many outbuildings, other hospital wings, greenhouses, barns, etc. are not on the register, though they probably should be. It is also a National Historic Landmark.
Please do not trespass here, or attempt to break in. The building is sick, and it is one of the only Kirkbride buildings remaining in relatively good condition, so please do not damage it further. They are having tours again now, so please if you wish to explore the hospital do it via the legal routes.
