Founded in 1889, the Outagamie County Health Center (OCHC), also know to some as "Flannigan's Funny Farm" served Appleton and surrounding communities for well over a century. As was common with other "County Homes", OCHC originally consisted of the poor farm and a home for the so called chronically insane.
In it's early years, individuals as young as 15 were brought to the facility and spent the balance of their days there. The asylum cemetary, closed in 1943 has 113 grave sites.
Over it's 112 year history, the facility underwent numerous changes. The final blow to the OCHC came in 2000 when construction of Brewster Village was started. This new state-of-the-art 204-bed facility stands near the site of the old building which was torn down in 2001.
